Those keys are used for special purposes (to be compatible with DOS), as is
CTRL-C and CTRL-Q. If you place the keyboard in binary mode,  you will
receive all keys -- even CTRL-C.

 void setkmode(void)
 {
     KBDINFO kbstInfo;

     kbstInfo.cb = sizeof(kbstInfo);
     KbdGetStatus(&kbstInfo, 0);
     kbstInfo.fsMask &= ~KEYBOARD_ASCII_MODE;
     kbstInfo.fsMask |= KEYBOARD_BINARY_MODE ;//| KEYBOARD_SHIFT_REPORT;
     KbdSetStatus(&kbstInfo, 0);
 }
