According to the Allegro documentation, the readkey() function will wait
until you press a key. If you want to create objects on the screen that
react to mouse clicks and keypresses, use the Allegro GUI routines and
create your own GUI objects. That way you can attach a keypress to a
specific object and/or bit of code. Another possible option is to use the
Allegro function keypressed(). If that returns true, then you may be able to
use readkey(), or clear_keybuf(). OTOH, if you don't want to use keypresses
to intiate actions, why are you using readkey() in the first place?
