I want to react when people press the asterisk key (*).
It is easy for the one on the numeric keypad which is called "Keys.Multiply"

But on an english keyboard you can also get a "*" by pressing shift+8 - there seems to be no entry in the Keys enumeration for that one...
I can't just use Keys.Shift | Keys.D8 because that won't work on foreign keyboards - on a danish keyboard you press Keys.Shift | Keys.Oem2.

What do I do?

Use the KeyPress event instead of the KeyDown event. Now you can look for '*' and you don't care what key generated it.

That is a good idea - thanks
