Yes, please go ahead and investigate this area.  Can you enter a bug
report or find an existing one that describes the "unreliable when
multiple keys are pressed" problem?

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Extension to keyboard input in SWT

Hi 
  
I have noticed that currently it is not possible to inspect a keyboard
state in SWT. I am writing a game and initially i have tried to use the
KeyListener to interpret user input. However this is unreliable when multiple
keys are pressed. 
  
If i am correct, it would be possible to write JNI interface for windows,
to use window API functions such as GetKeyboardState() and GetKeyState()
to do what i need. I assume this could be similarly done for the other
supported platforms. So a new keyboard user interface component could be
added to SWT. 
  
What do u think? 
  
Martin.
