What keyboard layout do you have?  It may be that you can do it already...

Try using the <Alt GR> key as a modifier like shift and press some 
keys...  :@)

Mine's set to "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC" for model and "gb <default>" 
for layout... use the layout that matches your keyboard, of course.

Play when you can. Hunt when you must. Rest in between.
Share your affections. Voice your opinion. Leave your Mark.
