[OpenLayers-Users] Custom control instead of ZoomBox on Navigation SHIFT-Clicks?

[Scott Lewis]

That could possibly work; is there a way to define a control so that it
only fires on a Shift-Click?  That way, I could just disable the ZoomBox
part of the Navigation control, and have my other control use
Shift-Click without having to "attach" it to the Navigation.
