# Keyrcod & Keycod

**In English:** Two small SuperBASIC procedures for program development, by Bruno Gadrat of the French QLCF club: KEYRCOD shows the values returned by KEYROW(0) to KEYROW(7) as keys are pressed, and KEYCOD shows the character and code of each key pressed. They are meant to be merged into a program and called by name; CTRL + space leaves them.

*The article below is in French, as printed in QL_DOC n9 (April-May 1989).*

***

Voici 2 procédures qui peuvent être utile lors de développement de programmes. KEYRCOD détermine les codes retournés par la fonction SuperBASIC KEYROW(x). KEYCOD retourne le code ASCII d’une touche appuyée. Pour utiliser ces procédures, on les appellent par leurs noms tout simplement.

```

8 REMark permet de trouver directement
9 REMark le ou les KEYROW(x) d'une touche

15 REMark Il suffit de merger ces procedures
16 REMark a votre prgromme et d'appeler keyrcod
17 REMark ou keycod quand on en a besoin
