altkey() down, up & halfway down

[Mike Bonner]

Use idle as scott said? Or, if you don't need it to be super responsive. IE
you're using visual cues as andre suggested, then polling every 100 or 150
milliseconds might suffice. Idle is probably easiest. Was wondering about
the external, seems that since this is related to os/arch even an external
would just have to sit there polling also. (though it could do it in it's
own little area and only speak up when a key changes state)  So an external
would probably be the best option except for that whole "having to write
it" thing.
