KeyBinding?

Is it possible to bind keys? Like a simple function EG: os.bindKey(key, function)

it is not, but it could be… i have to think it over.

What about coroutines? I would do it myself, but I can't use those pesky things.

it's certainly possible, i think i can do it tomorrow, but today it's already bedtime :D/>/>

@ds84182:
You can have an event loop, within which you can listen for keys being pressed, e.g.:

while true do
  local event, pressed = os.pullEvent()

  -- Prints if Enter or Left Shift have been pressed.
  if event == "key" and pressed == 28 then print("Enter Key pressed") end
  if event == "key" and pressed == 42 then print("Left Shift Key pressed") end

  -- Prints every entered character.
  if event == "char" then
	print( pressed )
  end

  if event == "char" and pressed == "q" then break end  -- Exit Program
end

If that is not what you meant, then can you describe a little example of what you want to achieve? :D/>/>

i think he means something more like:

local keys={59, 60}
local functions={function () print("abc") end, function() term.clear() end}
function exists(tab,a)
for i=1, #tab, 1 do
if tab[i]==a then return true end
end
return false
end
function num(tab,a)
for i=1, #tab, 1 do
if tab[i]==a then return i end
end
return false
end
function waitForKey()
while true do
local a,b=os.pullEvent("key")
if exists(keys,:D/>/> then
local tmp=functions[num(keys,:)/>/>]
tmp()
else
os.queueEvent(a,:)/>/>
end
end
end
--splitting the actual thread
while true do
parallel.waitForAny(
  function()
   waitForKey()
  end,
  function()
   os.run( {}, "rom/programs/shell" )
  end
)
end

Thats what I ment. Is there any wait times? I'm have audio playing with the SuperNoteBlock that needs to be evenly spaced.

"B" should be "b"

oh sorry, must have mistyped, and the code should read every press of the keys given (in this case, F1 and F2) as it occurs

I'll soon post a video of my MusicOS! Without you, my pause button and menus wouldn't work!
