You're probably aware that the 12 function keys can generate 48 functions (FKey, Shift FKey, Ctrl FKey, Alt Fkey). You might be aware that there are 12 more function keys by using ALT and any of 0-9 , - , and -. You're probably not aware of some functions, like ALT-Pg Down , Shift Pg Down, beyond the usual Pg Down and Ctrl Pg Down. But did you know about ALT-Comma, and Alt-Open Brace (Actually it's available as ALT-[ and as ALT-{.)

I have created a file containing the definition for essentially every key combination recognized by Inkey$ a set of named constants. It's intended to go by most used to least used:
  • All F-Keys
  • ALT numbers
  • ALT punctuation
  • Regular upper case (Capitals)
  • Regular lower case
  • Digits
  • Punctuation
  • Control Characters

I was trying to find a file containing definitions for all key combinations that generate a 2-character Inkey$ string, and not finding one, made one myself. The program at the end will display key combinations, which is how I generated the results, as the reference in the Wiki (which I pasted in as comments at the beginning) does not show all of them.

I've attached the program so it may be downloaded.

This is what it looks like:
Code: (Select All)

I'm interested to see this, but when I try to run the code, I get an "Invalid Const" error for the Const declarations. Do I need another attached file or something? (I've downloaded the attached file)

I think you are on an old version of QB64-PE or QB64. QB64-PE got CHR$ and ASC support in CONST in version 3.12.

That's a really nice reference and + 1 for possting it, but...

Code: (Select All)
Const KeyShiftDel = Chr$(0) + Chr$(83)

Const KeyShiftDown = Chr$(0) + Chr$(80)

Const KeyShiftEnd = Chr$(0) + Chr$(79)

Const KeyShiftIns = Chr$(0) + Chr$(82)

Const KeyShiftLeft = Chr$(0) + Chr$(75)

Const KeyShiftPgDown = Chr$(0) + Chr$(81)

Const KeyShiftPgUp = Chr$(0) + Chr$(73)

Const KeyShiftRight = Chr$(0) + Chr$(77)

Const KeyShiftUp = Chr$(0) + Chr$(72)

That really doesn't trap the SHIFT key. In fact, don't press SHIFT and the values are exactly the same. So how can we see if either the Right SHIFT or Left SHIFT key is being held using INKEY$, or just see if SHIFT, ALT or CTRL are pressed alone or in combo? Like this...

Code: (Select All)
Do

    _Limit 30

    Def Seg = 0

    i% = Peek(1047) Mod 16

    Def Seg

    b$ = InKey$

    Locate 1, 1

    If i% Then j% = 0

    Select Case i%

        Case 1: Print "Right Shift             "

        Case 2: Print "Left Shift              "

        Case 4: Print "Ctrl                    "

        Case 5: Print "Right Shift + Ctrl      "

        Case 6: Print "Left Shift + Ctrl       "

        Case 8: Print "Alt                     "

        Case 9: Print "Right Shift + Alt       "

        Case 10: Print "Left Shift + Alt        "

        Case 12: Print "Ctrl + Alt              "

        Case 13: Print "Right Shift + Ctrl + Alt"

        Case 14: Print "Left Shift + Ctrl + Alt "

    End Select

    If Len(b$) Then

        If i% = 0 Then Print Space$(24)

        Locate 2, 1

    End If

    Select Case Len(b$)

        Case 0

            If Len(oldb$) Then

                If Abs(z1! - Timer) > .1 Then

                    Locate 3, 1: Print "F12 was released.   "

                    oldb$ = ""

                End If

            End If

        Case 1: Print Asc(b$, 1); "          ";: j% = 0

        Case 2

            Print "CHR$(0) +"; Asc(b$, 2); "          ";

            j% = Asc(Right$(b$, 1)) ' For F12 key.

            If j% = 134 Then

                z1! = Timer

                If oldb$ <> b$ Then

                    Locate 3, 1: Print "F12 was pressed.     "

                    oldb$ = b$

                    Sleep 1 ' Needed to prevent double entry.

                Else

                    _Continue

                End If

            End If

    End Select

    If j% <> 134 Then Locate 3, 1: Print Space$(25);

Loop Until b$ = Chr$(27) ' End on Esc.
 

Now PEEK and POKE stuff is said to be deprecated, but I guess to preserve backwoods compatibility, they remain in use for some, but not all, of the ways they could be applied under QuickBASIC .

I love INKEY$ but it does have some problems detecting key up and down status. You would think by polling R$ = INKEY$: IF LEN(R$) THEN the key is down, but no. You can write a little sample code for yourself, hold some damn key down, hell, have an elephant sit on it, and you will find several instances in the cycle where the key is reported up, even though it was never released! This sucks big time and the only good way around it is to convert to the QB64 _KEYHIT and the up and down keywords associated with that keyboard INKEY$ replacement series. Oh, there is a Mickey Mouse method with INKEY$ that can be added, which I did include in this example using TIMER and the variable oldb$.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to hire Clippy to lean the elephant **** off my F12 key. I hear he works for peanuts!

@mkilgore : Excellent work on Const! Now I can:

Code: (Select All)
Const Quote=Chr$(34)
instead of:

Code: (Select All)
Dim Shared Quote As String * 1
Quote=Chr$(34)
its been years...
