Detecting ctrl and shift pressed simultaniously
OK.. here goes.
I need to find out if it's possible to detect simultanious key presses of both Ctrl and shift (both left and or right). The code I've written for detecting this works nicely in Vice, but the question is if the key matrix of the real c64 hardware allows this?
Unfortunately my 64 is broken, so I'm unable to investigate this myself. |

Took me a few moments to figure out that location 653 was actually in the memory map :) .. Thanks a bunch..
The thing is, I'm not using the kernal to handle key input so I was completely unaware of this one.. It's been a while you know :)
Cheers again. |

Oh. Well, control should be registered on there too, if I'm not mistaken (bit 2).. .. So, if you're able to get 5 in location 653, I'm home safe.. ;) |

Laxity: Yes, it should work I believe.
The c64 keyboard matrix allows you to detect most keys independently of each other, except for restore and shift lock.
(Edit: Dont use kernel junk - its a waste of time) |

I'm not using the kernal.. Wrote my own input library to waste my time on something instead.. :) |

As far as I know you can check CTRL, shiftR, shiftL by using $dc00 and $dc01...
Well any keycombination should be possible this way, apart from RESTORE.

and shiftlock, which is a mechanical switch on the left shift?
Edit: Oh, and Laxity, dont forget to account for keybounce. |

I do believe Marko or someone had a bit of code that could detect shift-lock, left shift or right shift was used on some (all?) models.
http://sta.c64.org/cbm64kbdlay.html is helpful but won't let you detect if shift-lock or the shift key also mapped the same is pressed. |
