Does anyone know how I can get simultanious key presses, for example pressing [Space] [Up] and [Left] at the same time, that is multiplatform, for example, it will run on Linux, Dos, and Windows without any OS specific functions. At the moment I am using: if (kbhit()) c=getch(); Thx for any help. [edited by - Razza2003 on February 9, 2003 3:10:28 AM]

No, getting keyboard input is an OS-specific task.
