If the trigger key was previously pressed and one or more trigger events were detected, this function returns
immediately.
After waiting for a trigger with this function, the event detector is automatically reset and rearmed. This is true
regardless of the number of events detected.
Use the display.trigger.clear() call to clear the trigger event detector.
Example
triggered = display.trigger.wait(5)
