Break (NOT PAUSE) key

[thetechman27]

Hello,

I (obviously) own an hp 15r Notebook PC. I am learning to code in QBasic via DOSbox, and I cannot find the "break" key (to end infanite loops). I have tried fn + shift, but it doesn't work. The "fn" key works, because I use it to use the f1-12 keys. I have specifically used the f1-12 keys in DOSbox, so that's not the problem. I always use Right-Shift (the location of "pause") in Steam Source games and Minecraft, so That's not it either. I cannot find a seperate "Break" key. Any ideas?

P.S. Let me know if this is somewhat hard to understand...

Hi @thetechman27,

Welcome back to HP forums.  I understand for are having issue with the Fn12 key in QBasic but not any other program.

Hp does not support QBasic, Suggest contact Microsoft.com as there created the software.

Please keep me informed of how things went. 

If you require further assistance, let me know and I will gladly do all I can to help you.

I am running QBasic in DOSBox, and I need to find the break key. I understand that the pause key is fn+shift, but the break key is entirely different or non-existent on my laptop. bottom line: I need to find the break key...

Hi @thetechman27,

The break key is not used that ofter now. So it took a little bit to find, but the key combo is pressing CTRL+ALT+ESC+Fn+Right SHIFT keys.

Hope this helps.
