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)
