# Input events

Respond to input from a hardware device, like a keyboard or a Touch Bar.

## Overview

Overview SwiftUI provides view modifiers that enable your app to listen for and react to various kinds of user input. For example, you can create keyboard shortcuts, respond to a form submission, or take input from the digital crown of an Apple Watch.

For design guidance, see Inputs in the Human Interface Guidelines.
