I'm not sure if there's an easy way to do this, but if you need a list of all the special key names, there's a comment in the TypeScript API browser in Sup.Input that says:

 // Valid key names (based on window.KeyEvent.DOM_VK_*):
 // CANCEL, HELP, BACK_SPACE, TAB, CLEAR, RETURN, SHIFT, CONTROL, ALT,
 // PAUSE, CAPS_LOCK, ESCAPE, SPACE, PAGE_UP, PAGE_DOWN, END, HOME,
 // LEFT, UP, RIGHT, DOWN, PRINTSCREEN, INSERT, DELETE,
 // 0 to 9, SEMICOLON, EQUALS, A to Z,
 // CONTEXT_MENU, NUMPAD0 to NUMPAD9,
 // MULTIPLY, ADD, SEPARATOR, SUBTRACT, DECIMAL, DIVIDE,
 // F1 to F24, NUM_LOCK, SCROLL_LOCK, COMMA, PERIOD, SLASH, BACK_QUOTE,
 // OPEN_BRACKET, BACK_SLASH, CLOSE_BRACKET, QUOTE, META
 //
 // Additionnally, ANY will return true for any key
 // and NONE will return true for no keys

There's a list like that in the source code too. The problem is, there's no easy way to access it since it's not stored. I was hoping to avoid it, but it seems like I might have to do it manually and check each value after all. :P

Regardless, thanks for looking into it :)
