It works on my PC keyboard, in XFree86 under Linux, so I'd say it's
more of a Windows problem than a hardware problem, even if a hardware
problem might be the reason Windows doesn't support it. Netscape's
news and mail reader uses Alt+Shift+C to mark all messages read, so
it's probably not just my keyboard that can do this. Unless I
misunderstood something and this is not at all what you're talking
about?
