### Handling key presses
```lua
function love.keypressed(key, scancode, isrepeat)
  if key == "escape" then
    love.event.quit()
  elseif key == "space" then
    player.jump()
  elseif key == "w" or key == "up" then
    player.moveForward()
  end
end
```

### Text input
```lua
function love.textinput(text)
  -- Handle text input for chat or UI
  if chatting then
    chatMessage = chatMessage .. text
  end
end

function love.keypressed(key)
  if key == "backspace" and chatting then
    -- Remove last character
    chatMessage = chatMessage:sub(1, -2)
  elseif key == "return" and chatting then
    -- Send chat message
    sendChatMessage(chatMessage)
    chatMessage = ""
  end
end
```
