Coincidentally I asked tech support about this recently. Some lower
case keys are committed for other functionality. This seems to be the
case with lower case "c". Use upper case "C" and then use Shift "c" to
"activate" e.g.
EventHandler[Graphics[{}], {"KeyDown", "C"} :> ( (* does not work
*)Beep[])]
then do Shift C and it will work. Or alternatively
EventHandler[Graphics[{}], {"KeyDown", "x"} :> ( (* does not work
*)Beep[])]
works okay for me.
