INKEY$ doesn't work with fixed length strings

[SMcNeill]

It would be also nice, that we have new LEN() function that returns the actual length of the string.

What! ? did someone not renew our license to Len()

Wouldn't _KEYHIT simply be easier for this?

yeah! and do you know that under IDE Menu > Tools > Insert Quick Keycode
you can insert the Keycode quickly, no number lookup!

Can notepad++ do that? ;-))

Or, even easier.... CTRL-K and then hit the key.   It's a shortcut I use all the time with _KEYHIT and _KEYDOWN.
