Accessing field names in struct

I've the following struct
test = struct(...
'a',false,...
'b',false,...
'c',false,...
'd',false,...
'e',false,...
'f',false,...
'g',true...
);
How do get the field name that has a value true ?
Expected result:
g
Any suggestions?

Timing tests:
test = struct(...
'a',false,...
'b',false,...
'c',false,...
'd',false,...
'e',false,...
'f',false,...
'g',true...
);
timeit(@()f1(test))
ans = 6.6802e-05
timeit(@()f2(test))
ans = 2.1892e-05
function f1(test)
F = fieldnames(test);
R = F(cell2mat(struct2cell(test)));
end
function f2(test)
F = fieldnames(test);
R = F{structfun(@(a)a,test)};
end
