hi sasuke,
here is the small piece of code.

txtArea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter()
     {
 public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke )
 {
 //System.out.println("key pressed fired");
 int code = ke.getKeyCode();
 int modifiers = ke.getModifiers();
 if(code == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER && modifiers == KeyEvent.CTRL_MASK)
 {
   System.out.println("!!!!!!! WOW CTRL+Enter DETECTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1");
 }
 else
       System.out.println("Ordinary keys" );}
 });

Note that the getModifiers() function returns the code of the mask key( cntrl/shift/alt) that was pressed during the KeyEvent.
so we can use
ke.getModifiers()== KeyEvent.CTRL_MASK
and
ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER
to find out whether cntrl+enter was pressed by the user.

hope this is clear
