I want to see if a CTRL + "some key" is pressed. If I use the :

key$=ENTRY$()

command to get an input. What will key$ be for a CTRL + "key" combination? I want to use an if then to check if key$="??" to see if the combination is pressed. Thanks.

They range from ascii value 1 to 26 ... CTRL-A=1 to CTRL-Z=26

So you can do either of the following

if asc(key$) = 1 ...
if key$ = chr$(1) ...

Thanks. How about capitals ? Is a CTRL+"A" = chr$(27) or is case not recognized?

I think there's a

IF CONTROLKEY()=1

or

IF CTRL()=1

function.

Case is ignored for control characters.

17 is code for 'W' or something.

Am I the only one here who's really confused?
