LB5 v352 Inkey$

[Rod]

Win10 32 Bit. Using the test_inkeys_specialkey.bas

The program fails at setfocus(), The Inkey$ value never contains any values for any non standard keys, cursor keys etc. perhaps this is what you meant when you said

"Support for the Windows specific VK key values not yet supported."

I thought Inkey$ supposed to be left for ordinary keys,
while SpecialKey$ for cursor keys etc.
Having if SpecialKey$="LEFT" is nice.
Though it sure breaks compatibility.

Yeah, this is a matter of Windows specific language features.  I can still add in the VK stuff, but it's better to move away from that kind of stuff.
