Appendix B: Global Variables - Keyboard 1243 OSFastArrows Declaration: BYTE OSFastArrows Category(ies): Keyboard Description: Normally set to 0. Once a key value is pushed onto the key queue, the same key value is not pushed again until the key is released, unless that key is one of the following: any of the arrow keys, the contrast keys, delete, or backspace. These keys are allowed to "auto-repeat". If one of these keys is pressed and held, after an initial delay the same key value will be pushed again. If the keypress continues to be active, the key value will continue to be pushed at a rate set by a delay which is slightly shorter than the initial delay. If a key is pushed as a result of auto-repeat, the value KB_AUTOREPEAT is OR'd with the key value prior to pushing the key value onto the key queue. If OSFastArrows is zero, ngetchx will clear the KB_AUTOREPEAT bit from the key value. If OSFastArrows is set to 2, the in-between-key delay is ignored for arrow keys, allowing them to be pushed as fast as the keyboard can be scanned. Inputs: Not applicable. Outputs: Not applicable. Assumptions: Not applicable. Side Effects: Not applicable. Availability: All versions of the TI-89 / TI-92 Plus.
