Keyboard Handler

• Added gadget shortcuts, now it’s possible to assign to a gadget a qualifier + key shortcut, when the key is pressed the following actions will be raised:
  — MouseOver event,
  — MouseDown event
  when the key is released the following will happen:
  — MouseUp event
  — MouseOut event
  Since some systems generate codes that cannot be detected using qualifiers I’ve added the ability to specify an alternative character.
  Here is an example to explain better what I mean: suppose you want to assign the combo CONTROL + z to
  a gadget, the natural way to do it, is to define it during the gadget creation:

  shortcut = { Qualifier = "LCONTROL", Key = "z" }

  In some circumstances this won’t work because with the combo CTRL+z the host system generate the character code 26 and that will never be detected by HGui, to avoid this I’ve implemented an additional field so you can do the following:

  shortcut = { Qualifier = "LCONTROL", Key = "z", AltCode = Chr(26) }

  Now the keypress will be detected in both situations.

• The implementation described above about keypress detection has been applied also to the window’s hotkey detection that now fully supports these keyboard events.
