There are two ways you can use [addKeys()](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Input.Keyboard.KeyboardPlugin.html#addKeys):

```nohighlight
var keys = this.input.keyboard.addKeys("W,A,S,D");
// -> { W: Key, A: Key, S: Key, D: Key }

```

```nohighlight
var keys = this.input.keyboard.addKeys({ up: 'W', left: 'A', down: 'S', right: 'D' });
// -> { up: Key, left: Key, down: Key, right: Key }

```
