How to get the input action which is performing?

Question

I'm learning the new input system and I'm looking for something like this:

if(anyInputActionIsPerformed)
{
return thatInputAction;
}

What I'm trying to do is to get the name of the current input action so I can save it in my input buffer for triggering something later.

You can use IsPressed directly:

_controls.ActionMap.Action.IsPressed()

For Example:

private PlayerControls _controls;
public void Start()
{
    _controls = new PlayerControls();
    _controls.Enable();
}
void Update()
{
    if (_controls.GamePlay.TakeItem.IsPressed()) Debug.Log("Is Pressed!");
}

Single Action Map Event Triggered

Controls.GamePlay.Get().actionTriggered += ctx => Debug.Log(ctx.action);

---

Single Action Map Direct Triggered

foreach (var _inputAction in Controls.GamePlay.Get().actions.Where(_inputAction => _inputAction.triggered))
{
    Debug.Log(_inputAction);
}

---

Total Action Map Triggered

foreach (var _inputAction in Controls.asset.actionMaps.SelectMany(_assetActionMap => _assetActionMap.actions.Where(_inputAction => _inputAction.triggered)))
{
    Debug.Log(_inputAction);
}
