Hi, I got the following example from the Documentation Center on
CurrentValue, but noticed a quirk: pushing the Alt key is signaled
correctly only every other time (only the first, third, fifth, etc., the
second etc. seem to be ignored):
Grid[{ToExpression["\[" <> # <> "]"],
Dynamic[CurrentValue[#]]} & /@ {"AltKey", "CommandKey",
"ControlKey", "OptionKey", "ShiftKey"}, Frame -> All,
ItemStyle -> {{Large, Automatic}}]
This is both on Linux (SuSE 10.?) and on Windows XP, Mathematica 7.0.1.
Bug or feature?
