Subject: Re: BBC Keyboard - SLOW?

Hi everyone,

I thought I would just tidy up the thread concerning the slow
keyboard syndrome with my emulator.

My emulation of the keyboard was far from okay in version 1.0.
In hindsight, I'm amazed it worked as well as it did. Anyway
the new code in 1.2 means that keeping a key pressed, during a
loop to print 1000 numbers, doesn't affect the speed at all
although CTRL does make it take slightly longer but only
fractionally. Also all the CTRL + <key> codes now work. Pressing
SHIFT + CTRL halts the display as expected.

So it was all down to my programming!
