ctrl+alt+KeyO works on Mac and Linux, but not Windows

The title pretty much says it all -- I have a keyDown handler, for ctrl+alt+KeyO, that works on Mac and Linux, but not Windows. Am I using the wrong key names? I can't seem to find the reference I had for the different key names and how to format them (e.g. "o" vs. "KeyO"). Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time, and for the awesome library! Please let me know if you need any more details and I'll be happy to provide them.

Pretty sure that this is a general issue with Windows. I think Ctrl+Alt key bindings are caught by Windows itself. I had the same problem, not with o but arrow keys. I might be spreading FUD though.

Thanks for your comment @buschtoens! It's good to hear someone else had this problem. I'm curious whether there's a workaround... I've used apps that captured ctrl / alt keypresses, so now I'm curious how they did it.
