MMBasic generates a single unique character for the function keys and other
special keys on the keyboard.
These are shown in this table as hexadecimal and
decimal numbers:
| Keyboard Key | Key Code (Hex) | Key Code (Decimal) |
| Up Arrow | 80 | 128 |
| Down Arrow | 81 | 129 |
| Left Arrow | 82 | 130 |
| Right Arrow | 83 | 131 |
| Insert | 84 | 132 |
| Home | 86 | 134 |
| End | 87 | 135 |
| Page Up | 88 | 136 |
| Page Down | 89 | 137 |
| Alt | 8B | 139 |
| F1 | 91 | 145 |
| F2 | 92 | 146 |
| F3 | 93 | 147 |
| F4 | 94 | 148 |
| F5 | 95 | 149 |
| F6 | 96 | 150 |
| F7 | 97 | 151 |
| F8 | 98 | 152 |
| F9 | 99 | 153 |
| F10 | 9A | 154 |
| F11 | 9B | 155 |
| F12 | 9C | 156 |
| Print Screen (CMM2 KB only) | 9D | 157 |
| Pause (CMM2 KB only) | 9E | 158 |
If the shift key is simultaneously pressed then 40 (hex) is added to the code
(this is the equivalent of setting bit 6). For example Shift-F10 will generate
DA (hex).
The shift modifier only works with the function keys F1 to F12; it is ignored
for the other keys.
MMBasic will translate most VT100 escape codes generated by terminal emulators
such as Tera Term and Putty to these codes (excluding the shift and control
modifiers).
This means that a terminal emulator operating over a USB or a serial port opened
as console will generate the same key codes as a directly attached keyboard.
