Hi Ben,
The keyCode just indicates the last single key pressed, so the keyCode of Q
== Ctrl+Q == Ctrl+Shift+Q == 113. To find the modifier keys that are
pressed you should look at the stateMask field, which will be an OR'd set of
SWT.CTRL, SWT.SHIFT and SWT.ALT.

Hi Grant,
I was asking the wrong question.
What I wanted to know, is it possible to get out the pressed
keys from an int value that was created from OR'd keys?
Like:
SWT.CTRL | 'd' = 262244
and
262244 = SWT.CTRL | 'd'
Something like a parse Method which takes the 262244 as paramter
and returns an int[] array containing the keys SWT.CTRL and 'd'.
Thanks,
Ben

A method like this does not exist since this is not how swt represents these
key combinations. However if you wanted to represent key combinations like
this as a single integer you could since SWT.ALT, SWT.SHIFT and SWT.CTRL are
defined as 1<<16, 1<<17 and 1<<18 respectively, and therefore will not
interfere with each other or with a keyCode value when OR'd together.

I should also point out the SWT.MODIFIER_MASK field, which is an OR'd
collection of all of the modifiers. This is good to make use of to ensure
that none are missed, either as a result of platform differences (like I
forgot about SWT.COMMAND in my previous post <g>), or if more modifiers are
added in the future.
