Is that all the keys on the keyboard, making them into constants is a pretty good idea

Just out of interest, what's the advantage of using a Constant over a Global Variable? That may seem like a dumb question, but I'm relatively new to this so would like to know what the benefits are, if any? Are Constants quicker than Global Variables? Or is it just a programmers preference? (2D Analyst, sorry for hijacking your post, but I think you have your answer now, right?)...

EDIT: 2D Analyst, check this link out... It contains the Scan Codes (Key Numbers):

Constants are slightly faster as they never change.

Global values are neaded to be checked if they have changed.

But this is about milli milli milli seconds
