default subclassing,eg:

virtual bool Key(dword key,int count){
  return CodeEditor::Key(key,count);
}

This looks fine. If it does not get called, problem is probably elsewhere. Testcase would help to identify it.

By the way, is there an easy way to convert key characters<65536 into virtualKeyCode,
so that Shift/Ctrl/Alt can be used/known independently - eg, when 2 is pressed to check if Shift was pressed too?
like Ctrl-2 or Shift-2, some kind of translation table or something?

Not sure if that will answer your question, but you can definitely use e.g. K_SHIFT|K_2.

Maybe the confusing part is that Key recieves both 'translated characters' and 'key codes'. So if user presses '2', Key gets K_2 and and '2' (order is not specified).
