Thank you, tofro. Now I just have to find out why some keypresses are read very fast while other need a...

Not at a QL to check this. Please try the CKEYON #channel and CKEYOFF commands present in both QDOS PE and SBASIC. Channel number optional. https://superbasic-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/C/ckeyon.html Don't remember if this does what you want to achieve or not. Thanks Dilwyn, but it seems it's ...
