I just tested in on a number of browsers, using 
<http://www.din.or.jp/~hagi3/JavaScript/JSTips/Mozilla/Samples/KeyEvent.htm>.



Using Mozilla Firebird 0.7.1, that DOM Samples page gives ctrlKey=true, 
keyCode=88, which=88, charCode=0 on keydown and keyup. On keypress, 
ctrlKey=true, keyCode is 0, which=56 and charCode=56.

Using Apple Safari 1.2, ctrlKey=true, keyCode=56, charCode=56, which=56 
on keydown, keyup, keypress.

Using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2.3 for Mac, ctrlKey=true, 
keyCode=56 on keyup, keydown, keypress.

Opera 6.03 does the same as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2.3 for Mac.



Only Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2.3 for Mac triggers on pressing just 
the ctrl key, the others demand ctrl key to be in combination with 
another key.
