The VNC protocol represents keyboard input as
key up/down events.
Plan 9 does not expose the state of the
Ctl and Shift keys except as it can be inferred
from receipt of control or shifted characters.
It does not expose the state of the Alt key at all,
since the Alt key is used to compose Unicode characters
(see
.IR keyboard (6)).
.I Vncv
correctly handles the sending of control and shifted
characters.
To support systems that use key sequences like Alt-X
(or worse, Alt-mouse-click), typing the Plan 9 compose
sequences
.B Alt
.B Z
.B A
(for Alt),
.B Alt
.B Z
.B C
(for Ctrl),
and
.B Alt
.B Z
.B S
(for Shift)
will send a ``key down'' message for
the given key.
A corresponding ``key up'' message
will be sent after the next key is pressed,
or when the sequence is retyped,
whichever happens first.
