SEK. Command

Set Extended Key-State

Intention

The SEK.-Command has two modes of operation.

In Mode 1, it can be used to set the state of NUMLOCK, CAPSLOCK and SCROLLLOCK.

What you set is really the "state of the keyboard". Not "the state of the button".

SEK.-will change the "real thing" exactly to the value that you provide in P2.

' Will set CAPSLOCK to ON

SEK.CAPSLOCK|1

In Mode 2, it can be used to set the state of the SHIFT, CTRL or the ALT-Key and others, see detailed list below. In this case you really change the state of the key, just like if you press or release the key physically.

Of course, if CAPSLOCK is activated, you will get a "1" if you check for SHIFT, even if you try to release either of the SHIFT keys.

' Will release the left SHIFT Button

SEK.LSHIFT|0

' Will press the right SHIFT Button

SEK.RSHIFT|1
