I want it to still register the key press and do something in case a key I randomly choose is pressed. I will make some profiles: profile 1 has key "A", profile 2 has key "CTRL + A",

However, always when I try to print out the dbcc_name, its length is one wide character (as defined in the structure documentation) and nothing more prints out.
