IKS./NKS. Conditional Statement

If Key-State

Intention

The IKS.-Command can be used to find out if a specified key on the keyboard is actually pressed or released. Unlike IEK., the IKS.-Command will evaluate the state of the physical keyboard key, and tell you if its up or down and react on that.

IKS. has three modes of operation. In the first Mode, you can specify the button using all of the Low-Level Keycodes see here:

Keyboard-Keycode-List.

In the second Mode, you can type a # followed by a decimal number or variable that contains the number. Like this:

' This will check the state of the left SHIFT-Key

IKS.#160

DBP.$$RES

EIF.

' This will get the state of the left SHIFT-Key

' You can omit the {} here if you want.

IKS.SHIFT|

DBP.$$RES

EIF.

' This will get the state of the left SHIFT-Key

IKS.{SHIFT}

DBP.$$RES

EIF.

In the third Mode, you define the key directly, using "a" or "B". Here is an example:

' This will get the state of the a-Key

IKS."a"

DBP.$$RES

EIF.
