The [[KEY n]] statement is used to assign a "soft key" string or a flag and scan code to a function key or display function soft key assignments.

==Number Pad Arrow Keys (11 to 14)==

|

:Keyboard Flag values can be added to monitor more than one control key. For example, flag combination 12 would flag both the Ctrl and Alt key presses. Since the flag already determines the function key to monitor, you don't necessarily have to use it's scancode. You can look for a key combination such as Ctrl + by using the plus key's scancode which is 13 as shown below:
|
||
|
||
{{WhiteStart}} '''KEY 15, CHR$(4) + CHR$(13)''' 'enabled event when Ctrl and + key are pressed{{WhiteEnd}}
|

|
||
|
||
<center>'''Trapping Extended keys (Insert, Home, Page Up, Right Ctrl, R.Alt, and cursor arrow pad)'''</center>
|
||
* On a 101-key keyboard, you can trap any of the keys on the dedicated cursorpad by assigning the string to any of the keynumber values from 15 to 25 using the 128 keyboard flag. The cursor arrows are not the same as the pre-assigned number pad arrows:
|
||
{{WhiteStart}} '''KEY n, [[CHR$]](128) + [[CHR$]](scancode) ' where n = 15 to 29. See: [[Scancodes]]'''
|
||
|
||
KEY 15, CHR$(128) + CHR$(75) 'left arrow cursor pad
|
||
|
||
KEY 16, CHR$(128) + CHR$(72) 'up arrow cursor pad
|
||
|
||
KEY 17, CHR$(128) + CHR$(77) 'right arrow cursor pad
|
||
|
||
KEY 18, CHR$(128) + CHR$(80) 'down arrow cursor pad
|
||
{{WhiteEnd}}
|
||
<center>Use CHR$(0) for the first byte flag for non-function keys. You can substitute a literal [[STRING]] value to trap as shown in Example 2.</center>
