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. 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.

        % Call ourselves recursively, thereby discarding this unmanageable
        % result.
        fprintf('GetKbChar: Warning: Received keypress for key %s. Don''t really know what to do with it.\n', ch);
