I can't seem to find one online, does anyone have a key list that shows each value of a key as the computer sees it? I'm looking to to some stuff in QuickBASIC involving a lot of keyboard use, but I can't find a key list.

I believe QuickBASIC's help file contains a list of keyboard scan codes.
Yeah that's just a matter of knowing the word "scancode" - http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~nsw/ench250/scancode.htm

Thanks Raven.
I didn't even think about looking for "scancode".

Or let the language do the work for you...
Whack keys until done.
Code:
10 INPUT A$
20 PRINT ASC(A$),A$
30 GOTO 10Whack keys until done.

Yeah, but that only works for keys and key combinations which have an ASCII equivalent.
Well regardless, it's in the help which is a really wonderful concept that QB has ;-) So Shift-F1 to help, and under Contents tab your way over to either ASCII Character Codes or Keyboard Scan Codes and now you can program in checks for chr$(27) (ascii) or in key combos.
