Also, this was discussed here not long ago. A quick search of the archives
finds these threads:

But I recall a more recent discussion, too. The bottom line seems to be
that keyboards vary, and relying on the keyboard to report more than one
'major' (as opposed to modifier) key as down at a time is unreliable.
