I was using this line of code with no problems but all of a sudden it doesn’t seem to work for whatever reason.

```
String currentKey = GLFW.glfwGetKeyName(key, scanCode);

```

Error:(53, 32) java: cannot find symbol  
symbol: method glfwGetKeyName(int,int)  
location: class org.lwjgl.glfw.GLFW

I forgot to add the natives to the project.
