The [[ON KEY(n)]] statement defines a line number or label to go to (or a [[SUB]] to run) when a specified key is pressed.
{{PageSyntax}}
: [[ON KEY(n)]] [[GOSUB]] {{Parameter|linelabel}}|{{Parameter|linenumber}}
: [[ON KEY(n)]] [[SUB]]procedure
{{PageDescription}}
* 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 {{Parameter|linelabel}} or {{Parameter|linenumber}} or a [[SUB]] procedure (without the [[CALL]] keyword) can be triggered in '''QB64'''.
