KeyListener - combination keys [message #459282]

Hi,
I have added a KeyListener to a text field. How would I recognize
combination keys for example when somebody presses Alt key + Arrow_Left
key.

Appreciate your help,

Dhiresh

I think you want to check the KeyEvent's stateMask field and see if it's
equal to SWT.ALT (which I think is synonymous with SWT.MOD2?). Anyway, I
think it's preferable to use a MOD instead for platform independence.
