Description
Returns Array containing dikCodes of keys, buttons and combos assigned to the given user action. Action names could be found in config class ControllerSchemes or user action names or user profile, for example:
keyWatch[] = { 24 };
To retrieve the value, use the property name without 'key':
actionKeys "Watch";
In addition, some of the actions are also listed in here: inputAction/actions
Syntax

If an action key is configured with a modifier (e.g. "Right Ctrl + M" for "MiniMapToggle"), the DIK code returned by this command has a weird value, equivalent to the following:
Left Ctrl + Key = 486539264 + DIK
Left Shift + Key = 704643072 + DIK
Left Alt + Key = 939524096 + DIK
Right Ctrl + Key = -1660944384 + DIK
Right Shift + Key = 905969664 + DIK
Right Alt + Key = -1207959552 + DIK</sqf>
This increases the difficulty of accurately comparing key codes to actionKeys in UI event handlers. Those strange numbers are probably due to bit flags being added to the DIK value by the game engine for easier storage in the ArmaProfile.
In case of mouse buttons, actionKeys will also return values that are different from those in "MouseButton" UI events:
LMB: MouseButton 0 = actionKeys 65536
RMB: MouseButton 1 = actionKeys 65665 (65536 + 1 + 128)
MMB: MouseButton 2 = actionKeys 65538 (65536 + 2)
4MB: MouseButton 3 = actionKeys 65539 (65536 + 3)
5MB: MouseButton 4 = actionKeys 65540 (65536 + 4)
The values above are valid for a right-handed mouse configuration, and may or may not differ for a left-handed config.

The values described by AgentRev cannot be compared reliably. All numbers in SQF are floats and those are only precise up to 7 digits.
486539264 + 19 == 486539264 + 20
The DIK codes for LCtrl + R and LCtrl + T are indistinguishable.
