The keyboard certainly can recognize multiple modifiers.  I don't know if there's any way to use them with TI's key handling, but the possibility is there.  Of course, pressing three keys at once always brings the possibility of Matrix Problems...  [[User:FloppusMaximus|FloppusMaximus]] 19:10, 18 Jun 2005 (PDT)

Due to the electrical matrix of the keyboard, any two similar
modifier keys pressed simultaneously results in an all modifier
keys pressed scan code.
