Backspace Key

Code:

...
while not keydown(KEY_RETURN)
    blinkTimer = (blinkTimer + 1)%60
    c = inkey()
    while c
        if key(charFilter, c)  inputString = inputString + chr(c)
        elseif c = 8  inputString = left(inputString, len(inputString) - 1)
        c = inkey()
    wend
...
    if blinkTimer%60 < 30  write "_"
...
wend
...

Thank you for the example on how to use `inkey()`. It’s been a huge help on my journey to building a typing tutor—or maybe something even bigger, like a fantasy computer written in Naalaa. I especially appreciate the part with the blinking cursor using `if blinkTimer%60 < 30 then write "_"`. That’s exactly what I needed to simulate an old-school computer cursor. 

Next, I’m working on detecting how many times the user presses the backspace key, so I can accurately track their typing. The goal is to count how correctly they type a given sentence and then provide feedback at the end of the session.
