Ren'Py How to assign a key to call or show a map?

[9thCrux]

I'm not sure if I'm even making the right question... sorry about my noobness.

What I'm trying to do is to bind or assign a key to show a map screen or an information screen.

So is like you press M and the map screen shows up.
Or you press I and the inventory screen shows up.
Or maybe you press T and the stats screen shows up...

How do you assign keys to call or show screens? Do you use zorder to keep them on top?

Any help would be appreciated.

Found some info here...

The easiest way is to use the

screen statement :

init python:
    # 'I' is already used by Ren'Py, so CTRL + I.
    config.keymap['inventory'] = "ctrl_K_i"
    # To keep the same logic.
    config.keymap['map'] = "ctrl_K_m"

screen keymap:
    # 'inventory' and 'map' refer to the entry defined above.
    key "inventory" action Show( "inventory" )
    key "map" action Show( "map" )

screen inventory:
    # Do not let the player click outside of the screen.
    modal True
    [...]
    textbutton "Close" action Hide( "inventory" )

screen map:
    # Do not let the player click outside of the screen.
    modal True
    [...]
    textbutton "Close" action Hide( "map" )

label start:
    # The screen will be shown until you hide it or totally reset the display.
    show screen keymap
    [...]
