How would I do a keysetting effect? (i.e. If user enters CTRL+2, change text to "CTRL+2"?)

I have an input box and I want users to be able to enter different keyboard commands. How do I show them what they are entering?

For example:

"CTRL+2"

"SHIFT+L"

"R"

"ALT+2"

"CTRL+3

"Spacebar"

"Home"

"Page up"

etc.

Thanks!

Thank you! I was getting ready to use keycodes, which would have meant importing a file with all the codes and the corresponding text strings.

Your suggestion will make everything MUCH easier!
