This is pretty cool. But I would remove that beep. Sorry but Wordpad made me hate sound to react to any keypress LOL. I didn't want to change the "Windows Media" settings to do something about it.
It's too bad how keyboards are designed these days. Otherwise I would change it so one hand could press [CTRL] (left) or [ALT] (right), and the other hand could use [SHIFT] (up) or [CTRL] (down) so it could behave like a real Ohio Art Etch-and-Sketch.
On my keyboard for the left hand, [CTRL] and [ALT] are too wide apart for my taste: [Fn] and [Win] keys in between. Would have to use [SHIFT] and [CTRL] for vertical motion for the left hand, and involve the application key for the right hand so it's a bit more comfortable.
On Linux probably could also reassign the "Super" [Win] key but I don't like feeling that I'm using a Macintosh. I highly respect those [Command] keys hugging the spacebar.
For a window manager on Linux using the "Super" key to help "design" application windows, it could be changed to [ALT] which ensures the [Win] key won't be involved that well in QB64 programs using _KEYDOWN().
