 		Contains a generic action which can be targeted from several types of inputs. Actions can be created from the [b]Input Map[/b] tab in the [b]Project &gt; Project Settings[/b] menu. See [method Node._input].
+		[b]Note:[/b] Unlike the other [InputEvent] subclasses which map to unique physical events, this virtual one is not emitted by the engine. This class is useful to emit actions manually with [method Input.parse_input_event], which are then received in [method Node._input]. To check if a physical event matches an action from the Input Map, use [method InputEvent.is_action] and [method InputEvent.is_action_pressed].
