I created user control that can accept user key input....

problem is that when user press "q" e.keycode points to capital q(Q),

or on keyboard 7(D7) is always "7" never "/" with or without SHIFT

The right thing is to separate actions in keyUp and KeyPress event...that way I'll get chars and shift actions handled separatly

If you want the symbols behind the numbers (for example 7 -> "/"), you have to check if Shift button is pressed. If e.Modifiers (string) contains the word Shift, you should add / instead of 7.

Hope this helps, if doesn't I can give you more detailed answer. For now, this is enough.
