Similarly, if you would press Shift-H, it would report that you pressed the shift key, the "H" key which then resulted in the uppercase "H" character.

Truth is each VM is different. On Win you get key codes that match ASCII, on the Mac you get Apple key codes, and on Unix it's not a raw value at all (should be X11 key syms but that hass never been implemented). So you have to deal with platform dependencies anyway.</div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>I just tried this. The results are very interesting.
