KEY enables, disables, or suspends event trapping of a key. If event trapping is enabled, ON KEY branches to a subroutine whenever the key is pressed. KEY(n%) ON KEY(n%) OFF KEY(n%) STOP ON KEY(n%) GOSUB line - n% A value that specifies a function key, direction key, or user-defined key: n% Key ------ -------------------------------------------- 0 All keys listed here (KEY(0) ON, KEY(0) OFF, and KEY(0) STOP only). 1-10 Function keys F1-F10. 11 Up Arrow key. 12 Left Arrow key. 13 Right Arrow key. 14 Down Arrow key. 15-25 User-defined keys. For more information, see . 30, 31 Function keys F11 and F12. - KEY(n%) ON Enables event trapping for the specified key. - KEY(n%) OFF Disables key event trapping. - KEY(n%) STOP Suspends key event trapping. Events are processed once event trapping is enabled by KEY ON. - line The label or number of the first line of the event-trapping subroutine. Example: 'This example requires Caps Lock and Num Lock to be off. CONST ESC = 27 KEY 15, CHR$(&H4) + CHR$(&H1F) 'Set up Ctrl+S as KEY 15. ON KEY(15) GOSUB PauseHandler KEY(15) ON WHILE INKEY$ <> CHR$(ESC) PRINT "Press Esc to stop, Ctrl+S to pause." PRINT WEND END PauseHandler: SLEEP 1 RETURN See Also
