>Hi Steve,
>To determine which key combination in fact pressed there are two parameters in keypress (nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl).
>nShiftAltCtrl, Shift=1, Ctrl=2, Alt=4. It is a combination value, ie: if both Ctrl+Alt is pressed then value is 6, Shift+Ctrl = 3, Shift+Alt = 5 and finally Shift+Alt+Ctrl = 7. nKeyCode give the inkey() value (scan code) of the pressed key combination.
>Though, ALT combination doesn't produce a "Keypress" event.

>1- nKeyCode = 19, then it's Ctrl+s (ALT combination doesn't produce a "Keypress" event).
>2- Unfortunately you cannot directly. You should also check if a value is added in interactivechange (Ctrl+b add, Ctrl+ra doesn't).
>3- Keypress by default doesn't "absorb" the keypress. For keys you want to be processed in keypress event and then clear from buffer use "nodefault".

Hello Steve;
Why not try the lastkey() function. This allows ctrl + and
alt + values. Again, not the ctrl+alt+ values
