Well in any means, you can do any key on your keyboard that generates a
proper scan code. To discover the scan code, you can run the program
in a terminal and watch the keycodes scroll by when you press keys while
its window is selected. For example Ctrl-Break produces "keycode 114
(keysym 0xff6b, Break)". (sorry I dont have a windoze keyboard to test)
