What about a better keyboardinkey()?

Hello ^^
I need a way to let user write in an openscreen(), that's why I tried keyboardinkey().
But I don't like the way it works (the chr appears after you release the key) that's why I am looking for a better function.
Does someone can help me for this?

Yea it's pretty shoddy and has many bugs which I've reported before...

I use GetAsyncKeyState_() all the time. It's API stuff, and Windows take
care of the inputs. In a loop it will detect when you a press a key DOWN,
and not when you release it..

Quick code like:

Repeat
If GetAsyncKeyState_($53) & $1
; You pressed S key
End
EndIf
Delay(1)

Use these HEX values from this MSDN table:
