The space bar as a keyer would be fine as a straight-key (just the

I was thinking more along the lines of emulating a paddle (two
side-ways keys mounted back-to-back, so that your thumb produces
dits and your fore/middle finger produces dahs as you barely move
your hand left-right-left). But it would be trivial to modify the
program from one mode to the other. The hard part, as we've all
discovered, is reading the keys while bypassing the buffer and
controlling the speaker.
Guess what? kbhit() returns a non-zero value at a variable rate:
between 65 and 300 ms. So you cannot distinguish between rapis key
strokes and holding a key down.
Mmm; I wonder if it could be done with the mouse buttons instead of the
keyboard, or if the same problem exists there ....
