Question

Like the one in Visual Studio > Options > Keyboard > Press shortcut keys field.

Can I save this key press as a single combined value, or do I have to save the key press and each modifier key separately?

I just wanna show the currently pressed keys in the TextBox like:

Ctrl+G
Alt+X
Shift+V
R
Ctrl+Alt+S
etc

Also looking for the best way to store the keypress value. If I have to store the keys and modifier keys separately, then I will make a new type that has all of them in one place.

In the textbox KeyDown event:

        string keys = "";

        if ((Keyboard.Modifiers & ModifierKeys.Control) > 0)
        {
            keys += "Control + ";
        }

        if ((Keyboard.Modifiers & ModifierKeys.Alt) > 0)
        {
            keys += "Alt + ";
        }

        if ((Keyboard.Modifiers & ModifierKeys.Shift) > 0)
        {
            keys += "Shift + ";
        }

        keys += e.Key;

        YourTextBox.Text = keys;
