Does anyone know how the keypress combination Alt-PrtSc could be
detected by an applications program? Is it possible? The combination by
itself seems not to have a scan code associated with it. However, I
know how to detect when the Alt key has been pressed, and an unshifted
PrtSc has a scan code of 55. I tried using this knowledge (perhaps
naively) to try and detect when Alt and PrtSc were simultaneously
depressed, but to no avail. Is what I am attempting possible? Any
responses would be appreciated.
