I think any function where you provide the key code value and obtain the status of the key should work. >From the Linux Documenation Project: The two keys PrintScrn/SysRq and Pause/Break are special in that they have two keycodes: the former has keycode 84 when Alt is pressed

I know of no way to obtain the pause key status under windows.  I can get the scroll lock status, but not the pause key, never did figure that one out.  Windows uses it though, I don't know if it's a standard thing, or something I have installed, (though if it is an installed program, I

[fpc-pascal] Pause Key

Does anyone know what's up with the Pause key in Windows? Is there some way to tell if it was pushed? I have a need for the user to pause execution of my Freepascal program, I have a pause key.. seems like there should be some way to use it. James

Hi,   I'm almost fourteen years on the forum and a few years less on mailing lists and I never had a single problem. I don't attend IRC so I can't say what's wrong there. OTOH I read Joanna's comments on the forum and they are OK (to the topic; non conflict).   V.

I suggest to subscribe to the Lazarus/ Fpc forum. It’s very easy. You don’t have to ask questions if you don’t want, and you can still learn a lot from all questions and answers posted. And no one is horassing anyone… https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?action=forum Cheers J

Re: [fpc-pascal] IRC channel for FreePascal support ?

I bet this Joanna character is an active member of her Homeowners Association. I verified that there is an operator named Joanna on #fpc on Libera.Chat. The power-hungry kind of behavior exhibited by Joanna is bad for the channel and therefore bad for the project. In another post Jacob mentioned

Hi, Now I'm also banned from #lazarus, the reason is "harrassment by pm". I ask the #fpc Libera.Chat IRC administrators (if they are listening here) to revoke channel operator status for user "Joanna". I'm now also banned from #pascal, Libera.Chat, reason "trolling". *sigh* /Jacob
