Hello!    I'm new to the engine and this community and a little camera shy so don't all look at once!  I'm looking forward to ask a quadrillion questions, so I better get busy.

Here's my first quandary:
I'm trying to add a quick save feature to our game by creating the hotkey ctrl+s. However, I'm uncertain of how to use this combination of keys together since nothing seems to happen when I do. I use the following logic:

if (Keyboard.IsControl && ( Keyboard.Key == "S" || Keyboard.Key == "s") ) 
    RunSaveMethod(); //at this point I print something to screen but nothing gets displayed

So... What am I doing wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Problem is, the Control key mutates the printable character into another character, so Keyboard.Key no longer contains "s". You'd best use Keyboard.KeyCode instead. If Keyboard.KeyCode == 19, Ctrl+S has been pressed.

I see. That makes sense. Thank you!
