Problem description:

Greetings,

I got a question. Is there a way to extract information from a input?

Like, When I press a button, it will extract the information from the input and put it in a var. Is that possible?

That's exactly what input does.

In case you're asking about input as in the interface element, you can use winget() to access the input's 'text' value. e.g.

client/verb/get_input_text()
    var/v = winget(src,"input","text")


You can then use a library such as forum_account's keyboard library or use Dream Maker's built in macro editor to bind a key to a verb and trigger whatever behaviour it is you're looking for

This is exactly what I meant! Thanks! I understand it now.
