Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my question.

 

I have a GUI that I only want to display when a key is being pressed, a lot like a pie menu. I've tried using the Keybinding class and using the Keybinding ::isPressed() method, but when a GUI is open it stops registering as pressed.
How can I go about detecting if a key is pressed inside of a Gui? Preferably a key that is defined by a registered Keybinding so it's configurable.

 

Thank you.

Funny how life works sometimes. I spent 3 days stumped on this question, then within 10 minutes of asking it here I found the answer.
To avoid being the person who says they found the answer but fails to mention it in case people in the future have the same question:

 

Inside of the Gui class in the render function (known as func_230430_a_ right now) I run this check, see if the current screen is null, if
it's not null see if the gui is an instance of the custom Gui class, and if it run Minecraft::displayGuiScreen(null). (It probably doesn't need
the checks to see if the screen is null because it the code is running then that means the screen isn't, but I think it's important to have that
edge case, no matter how inconceivable, covered.

InputMappings.isKeyDown(Minecraft.getInstance().getMainWindow().getHandle(), someKeybinding.getKey().getKeyCode())
