Well, that part's easy -- you have that as soon as you display Str(Asc(Key)) in the KeyDown event. Nothing else is needed for ordinary keys. And the weird keys (F keys, etc.) don't, in general, have any unique ASCII (character) code, so attempts to find one for them are futile. Also, remember that what character a particular key generates depends on the keyboard layout you happen to be using.

KeyName names a key by its physical key code, not by the character code they may generate on some particular keyboard layout.
