Well, you won't ever get two keys pressed together in the event receiver because even though the action of pressing the keys may be parallel to a user, it will be serial to a computer.

What you will need to do is store what keys are pressed down and then check for the combination of keys.

For special keys, I store the state. CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, & "Windows", so if another key is pressed, it will function as expected.

There should be another post in here describing storing key states.

If you need to check if a 'normal' key is pressed together with a key like shift or ctrl, you could even just wait for 0.5, I included some additional features for this.

Cool, seems it isn't a long time till 0.5 is coming, after all niko suggests to wait for it
