This table summarizes a set of actions programmed merely to show a small sample of the controls that can be implemented.
The user may have no requirement for seeting the radar axis labels to be "Arial", "Italic", 1.1 times the current font size, and UnderlineStyle=None. That is not significant.
The significance lies in the fact that we can detect that the user has held down the Alt-key while clicking on a radar axis label - and we can implement anything we like.

Note that while some of the objects permit all 8 possible combinations of Shift, Ctrl, Alt keys, some (such as Radar Axis Labels immediately above) have been implemented only the level of individual keys. We can trap combinations such as Shift-Ctrl and Shift-Ctrl-Alt.
Note too that three clicks on the radar axis label will result in Arial, Bold, and a font size 1.331 times the original size. Subsequent application of a Shift-Click will result in Courier Bold and a font size 1.21 of the original size.
