is a demo that will show you key presses and releases, so you could use
that to query what any particular key sequence becomes.

as i said: this approach does not work from within genuine ML (at least in wintel envs)...
just look at my replies...

That isn't immediately clear, as the demo might show a completely
different key sequence; or plausibly if run until Matlab, the demo would
show the key sequences that Matlab wants.

For example, plausibly the demo would show the VK_DEAD_ABOVEDOT *after*
the vowel -- since, after all, Matlab did not complain that
VK_DEAD_ABOVEDOT was an invalid field or method.

yes it does, walter
look in my replies above to see the error message it pukes...

Looking around, it appears that this is a common Java Robot problem not
specific to Matlab. The discussion I found at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=280562
hints that the work-around is to code each key press literally, such as
VK_CONTROL VK_RIGHT_ALT VK_SHIFT VK_QUOTE VK_O
and then the release events for those in the opposite order. (I do not
have a PC available to test the exact key sequence with.)

By the way: the discussions above show the problem being debugged by use
of the exact demo that I pointed to...
