Is there a ready-made three.js library to move objects with arrow keys?

Hello, I'm new to three.js and I'm looking for a solution to move objects (like a cube) with arrow keys on a scene.
I noticed that the Controls library exists, but its keys setup is empty. While I can implement this functionality using a JavaScript event listener and custom key actions, I'm hoping for a ready-made library that handles this basic setup.
Has anyone used or heard of a library that provides this functionality?

Based on the available Three.js documentation, there are several control options that might help you move objects in a scene using keyboard input.
Three.js offers various control libraries that can help with different types of movement and interaction:
For keyboard-specific movement of objects, you might want to look at FirstPersonControls or FlyControls, as they typically include keyboard input handling.
If you're looking to visualize direction or movement, you might find these helper classes useful:
While Three.js does provide these control libraries, you might still need to customize them for your specific use case of moving individual objects with arrow keys. The standard control libraries are typically designed to move the camera/view rather than specific objects.
If you need a simple solution for moving objects with arrow keys, a custom implementation with event listeners might still be the most straightforward approach, despite your preference for a ready-made solution.
For more detailed information, I recommend checking the specific documentation for each of these control libraries on the Three.js website.
