A quick hack is better than a quack hick... Hey where is Steve, anyway?
PEEK / POKE won't help, either.
Def Seg = 0
i% = Peek(1047) Mod 16
If InStr(Chr$(1) + Chr$(2) + Chr$(5) + Chr$(6) + Chr$(9) + Chr$(10), Chr$(i%)) Then tx.shift = -1 Else tx.shift = 0
If tx.shift Then Print "Different Shift same results."
Def Seg
So it looks like unless someone can come up with a way for QB64 to poll the keyboard when the QB64 window is not active then anyone wanting this ability will need to write a Windows only routine using Win32 API keyboard functions. I had to do that for mouse routines when the program window was out of focus. It worked perfectly, but Linux and Mac users were not be able to use it.
