strafing

Do you mean the way quake(and a lot of FPS's too) did how you hold down alt and pushing the left or right arrow keys strafed instead of turning? Easy, when you check if the left or right keys are down, check if alt is down, if it is strafe, otherwise turn.

Actually, he means about just using ALT as either strafe left or strafe right. I used to set up Q2 to have SHIFT as strafe left and Numpad-0 as strafe right. But, I do not know how to do that in C++.

not in MSDN, lol ;-)))) Probably the most basic information ever...

Just look for WM_KEYDOWN and the documentation that''s in the keyboard section of the SDK

Doesn''t it include a right alt and left alt version?

check for VK_MENU, that''s how I do it. To get the right and left Alt (if there is one), do a F12 on VK_MENU, it will take you to the file (winuser.h), look for the other key codes there.
