Get all interactions from external keyboard

Question

Hello everybody,
I'm searching for an event in Xamarin.iOS with C# like Androids KeyEvent (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent). It should give me the key which is involved (or an id or smoething which can be translated in the pressed key) and if the key got pressed or released. Also it should work with keys like Ctrl.

In addition, this should only work when I've selected a specific text field in my app, and, if possible, only with external keyboards.

I hope you can give me a solution :)

Best regards,
Saltemohn

I finally found a solution by myself. If another person with the same problem finds hat question:

    public override void PressesBegan(NSSet<UIPress> presses, UIPressesEvent press)
        {
            var pressesArray = presses.ToArray<UIPress>();
            var key = pressesArray.First()?.Key;
            if(key == null)
                return;

            Console.WriteLine(key.KeyCode);

            base.PressesBegan(presses, press);
        }
