Please do not take this as an attempt at sarcasm: it is not. I just want to
let you know that the reason for you not getting answers here is that you
are in the wrong news group. Here we discus standard c++, which has no
solution for your problem. The standard does not know about keyboards.
Thus, you will have to use a platform specific library that provides the
functionality you need. Those libraries are off-topic here but are on-topic
in forums dedicated to the correspondig platform. Please see the FAQ and
the Welcome message for what goes here and where to take questions that
don't.

the clue was where he said "platform specific library". A platform
being a
computer and its operating system. For instance if you are trying to do
this
on a windows box you need to ask in a windows newsgroup, etc.

Also, since many posters to this group do not have English as their
native language, it is best if you avoid slang, such as gangsta.
