The '''ON KEY(n)''' statement defines a line number or label to go to when a specified key is pressed. QB64 can reference a [[SUB]].
{{PageSyntax}}
:: ON KEY(n) {{{KW|GOSUB}} {''linelabel''|''linenumber''}|{{KW|SUB}}procedure}
* Predefined and user defined KEY event number assignments to use with ON KEY(n):
{{WhiteStart}} '''1 to 10'''.............Reserved '''F1 to F10''' function keys only.
'''11, 12, 13 and 14'''...Reserved '''Up, Left, Right and Down''' numeric keypad arrows only
'''15 to 29'''............'''user-defined keys''' using value: [[CHR$]](keyflag) + [[CHR$]]([[Keyboard scancodes|scancode]])
'''30 and 31'''...........Reserved '''F11 and F12''' function keys only.
{{WhiteEnd}}
* See the [[KEY n]] page for user defined key or key combination presses and F function softkey assignments.
* [[GOSUB]] with a ''linelabel'' or ''linenumber'' or a [[SUB]] procedure can be used in '''QB64'''. Don't use [[CALL]]!
