Platform

x64, Win32

Purpose

To get the next keycode.

Syntax

SUBROUTINE GET_KEY@(K)
INTEGER (KIND=2) K

Description

This subroutine gets a keycode from the keyboard. If the buffer is not empty then a value is read and removed from the buffer. If the buffer is empty then the function waits for a keyboard input.
This is a legacy routine that has been ported to both ClearWin and ClearWin+ but no longer responds to accelerator keys.
