I'm not 100% sure but I gues keydown should work (if not, add array which will store key down in keydown event and swap on keyup

You can make array named for instance keys, than you can in keydown set keys[e.keyCode] to true and in key up false

nicolas turek I am using keyup and keydown. In key up I set ctrlkey=false. And in keydown I set it again to true. I didn't get the array thing
