Firstly the {alt} etc modifiers only work within a sequence of keys sent
by the *keys command, and that I think is the crux of the problem -
windows doesn't allow you to make the ctrl or alt keys sticky; it reads
the state every time you press another key or click your mouse btns. For
PP to do what you want you would have to trap the mouse movements while
in visio and substitute the same movements modified with the {ctrl
shift} keys.
Maybe the keytrap plugin would help; I'm afraid I don't use it
