Question: Can I use alt- and meta-key modifiers with EPOC Java?
Answer: EPOC Java is able to handle meta-modified key presses. These are generated on the EPOC emulator, somewhat paradoxically, with
the alt key. It may also be possible to generate meta-modified key presses on keyboard-based EPOC devices, but this should
be checked on a case-by-case basis. There is no way to generate alt-modified key presses on the EPOC emulator. It will probably not either be possible to generate
alt-modified keypresses on any EPOC machines. It should also be noted that, although modifier presses are recognized as key presses by some JVMs, they are not recognized
by the EPOC window server, or consequently by the EPOC Runtime for Java, as key presses, but only as modifiers of other key
presses.
