Thanks to MichaelHouse for his suggestion, but what I actually found works (since those methods he suggested didn't appear to exist for the Keyboard class I had), is to set a boolean waitingToSet and in my update method, I had this:

    if (waitingToSet){
        if (Keyboard.getEventKeyState()){
            System.out.println(Keyboard.getKeyName(Keyboard.getEventKey()));
            waitingToSet = false;
        }
    }

This worked perfectly for me. Of course you can just then go and bind that Keyboard.getEventKey() returned value as the setting you want.

        }
    }

EDIT: Just a caveat: if you're planning on using this with LibGDX, it won't work properly. The Integer values for the Keyboard class and the Input.Keys field are different, so calling Gdx.Input.isKeyPressed(i) where i is the int value you caught earlier, will map to the wrong key. It turned out to be a huge mission for me to get new key mappings to work properly for LibGDX. Ended up using a Preferencesfile and writing my own method that looped through every possible Key and/or button to return the proper one:

public static int getKey(){
    for (int i=0;i<256;i++){
        if (Gdx.input.isKeyJustPressed(i)){
            return i;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

This worked perfectly. So change the Keyboard.getEventKeyState()to Gdx.input.isKeyJustPressed(Input.Keys.ANY_KEY) and then call the above method inside the if statement. Then you'll have the right key.

I realise this is a few years later, but I didn't see many results come up when searching for this, so I figured an up-to-date answer could help others.
