Scott,

Can't you tell the difference between the left and right Ctrl?  Would the left
Ctrl plus V do an error reset followed by a paste?  That should be less
annoying.

Seems to me the solution is to detect the difference between a press and release
of Ctrl with no modifiers, vs getting other key down/up scan codes while Ctrl is
depressed.

IOW, for the Ctrl key, don't act on the key down event.  Set a flag and don't
act until the key up event.  Then only perform the assigned "Ctrl" action when
no other key events have occured in the interim.  That may have the side effect
of not allowing key repeats for Ctrl, but I can live without repeating Error
Resets. :)  While repeating Field Exits have more potential, IMHO, I'd gladly
trade that for the ability to define an action for the key when used alone,
which does not occur when used as a modifier to other keys.
