The value of ignore is provided to permit unwanted control keys on the keyboard to be ignored. (Unexpected glyphs are not generated.)

The Modifier can be any one of the following on Windows or either Ctrl or Shift on UNIX and Linux:
      Alt
      Ctrl
      Shift

The Key can be any one of the keys shown in Table 1, (but some combinations of modifier+key are not supported — see Key combinations):
