Detecting keyboard input?

[Lord Orwell]

i forgot to mention that getasynckeystate will oddly enough also detect mouse clicks because values 1 and 2 are the left and right mouse buttons. Since all you are doing is counting you could simply call every key in a for next loop (1 to 128) in place of the keys.L in the sample. Every one you get a true value back on is going to increment your number. However there is also a way to detect if the key is pinned down or held down. There's a flag in the return value that not only says if it is pressed or up but if it's been pressed since the last time you checked. I suggest you study up on the api call so you don't end up counting the same keypress multiple times.
