Are you saying the function takes a long time to return or that it is a long time before the modifier key is seen?


Hi Peter,

The problem seems to only occur, when I use downKey(7) together with inkey - which isn't ideal, as you've suggested. So I am figuring out how to properly solve the conversion from PS/2 to USB, since MM.USB is much different from MM.Info(ps2).

As said, the MM.USB is needed because downkey(1) does NOT catch any code on german keyboard, when pressing ä,ö,ü,ß

So now the code will be much more complicated, compared to the ps/2 version of the picoMite. I am still on it. But as said: MM.USB is absolutly necessary - without it, there is no way of catching any of the "Umlaute".

Greetings
Daniel
