How can I know both the Key c and Ctrl on the keyboard are pressed?

Your humble opinion is wrong.

Under windows Ctrl-C raises KeyboardInterrupt just as it does under 
linux. Ctrl-break by default terminates the program (without invoking 
Python's usual cleanup), but you can override that behaviour by 
registering a different signal handler.

e.g.

  import signal
  signal.signal(signal.SIGBREAK,
                signal.default_int_handler)

will make Ctrl-break raise KeyboardInterrupt just like Ctrl-C.
