function [ch, when] = GetKbChar(varargin)
% [ch, when] = GetKbChar([deviceIndex][, untilTime=inf][, optional KbCheck arguments...]);
%
% GetKbChar reimplements basic functionality of GetChar() by use of KbCheck
% and KbPressWait. It accepts optionally all arguments that KbCheck accepts
% and passes those arguments to KbCheck, e.g., a keyboard index in order to
% only query a specific keyboard for input.
%
% GetKbChar also returns with empty return values if the optional deadline
% 'untilTime' is reached.
%
% The function only recognizes standard alpha-numeric keys, i.e., letters
% and numbers, and a few special symbols like the ones on top of the
% numeric keys. It only recognizes the delete, space and return keys as
% special function keys, not other keys like Function keys, CTRL, ALT or
% cursor keys. Pressing the ESCape key will also terminate input.
% It always assumes a US keyboard mapping.
%
% It polls the keyboard, so may miss very brief keystrokes and doesn't use
% the keyboard queue.
%
% Use this function if you need a GetChar like interface for simple string
% and number input in situations where GetChar doesn't work reliably, e.g.,
% on some Octave configurations, with Matlab in -nojvm mode or on
% MS-Windows Vista or Windows-7.
%
% History:
% 22.10.2010 mk Wrote it.
% 14.02.2016 dgp Accept the Escape key, return it as char(27).

% Get keypress, KbCheck style:

keycode = zeros(1,256);
down = 1;
secs = when;
if length(varargin) < 2
untilTime = inf;
else
untilTime = varargin{2};
if isempty(untilTime)

end
end
while down && (secs < untilTime)
[down, secs, keyincode] = KbCheck(varargin{:});
if down
keycode = keycode + keyincode;
secs = WaitSecs('YieldSecs', 0.001);
end
end
% Force keycode to 0 or 1:
keycode(keycode > 0) = 1;
% Shift pressed?
if any(keycode(shiftkeys))
shift = 2;
else
shift = 1;
end
% Remove shift keys:
keycode(shiftkeys) = 0;
% Translate to ascii style:
ch = KbName(keycode);
% If multiple keys pressed, only use 1st one:
if iscell(ch)
ch = ch{1};
end
% Decode 1st or 2nd char, depending if shift key was pressed:
if length(ch) == 1
if shift > 1 && ismember(ch, 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
ch = upper(ch);
end
elseif length(ch) == 2
ch = ch(shift);
elseif length(ch) > 2

end
if strcmpi(ch, 'DELETE') || strcmpi(ch, 'BackSpace')
ch = char(8);
end
if strcmpi(ch,'ESCAPE')
ch=char(27);
end
% Catch otherwise unhandled special keys:
if length(ch) > 1
% Call ourselves recursively, thereby discarding this unmanageable
% result.
