Legal value: ^ follows any alphabet (a-z, A-Z) ^ follows the listed special characters: [ ] \ ^ _
NOTE: The CTRL key is represented by using the ^ (carat) character.
NOTE: The CTRL key does not generate a character by itself, but must be struck simultaneously
with another key to generate a character.
For example, striking both the CTRL key and the \ key simultaneously (rather than sequentially) is denoted as ^\.
