Subject: Re: On KeyDown Bug

[Robert Sneidar]

I think you missed the point. I DO want the case statement to  
progress without breaks because I want the variable theModifier to be  
ALL of the modifier keys that are being pressed on keyDown. As I  
understand it, case statements without breaks will do that. And it  
still doesn't explain how I can end up with a Ctrl in theModifier  
when only the shift key was being held down.

If anyone would please feel free to paste my snippet (previously  
posted) into a stack and observe what happens, I'd be curious if it  
were just me. I am after all going through a KVM switch and a USB hub.
