Control/Meta keys; how do they work?


I would like in depth knowledge of how these keys work. If I were to want to use these keys for my own application how would I program them?

Thanks in advance!





Edit: Useful links I found with the help from the single reply.

Not an answer but a base for the topic.

It depends, if you are using Xlib, for example, the modifier keys' state are given as a bitmask in the keypress event structure: http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/events...d-pointer.html
