INKEY$ doesn't work with fixed length strings

Code: (Select All)

k$ = Input$(1)

That is very clever, I never knew that was an option.

There a bunch of workarounds for fixed length strings and input, but that is, what it is, a "workaround". Why do we use workarounds, because something doesn't work right, or as expected, but we are also avoiding the underlying issue.

I'm using fixed string variables in a UDT, because its a workaround for the potential crashing issues that arise from variable length string in a UDT. That will eventually get fixed, and I appreciate the time it takes for the maintainers and the developers to address all the issues and concerns, so I can be patient.
