Hi Brian,

Just a thought here. You said "you must choose two keys on the keyboard that
cannot be pressed using only one hand."

If detecting two keys requires a lot of coding, how about detecting one
keypress + one mouse click?

It's much easier (less than 10 lines of coding), and I think people will
need to use two hands to press a key and do a mouse click (unless they pick
up the mouse with one hand, press the left mouse button, and then use the
mouse to hit the keyboard)...

Regards,
/kksou
