I have completed my autofill for a standard text boxes.  Using the following

 function place.action(self,key,newValue)
        local len = newValue:len()
        -- If the place has a value and the key was not a control one
        if key > 0 and len > 0 then
            local p = placeList:findFirst(newValue)
            if p then
                self.value = p
                -- Put cursor to start of selection
                self.caretpos = len
                -- Select from cursor to end of the string
                self.selectionpos = len..':999'
                return iup.IGNORE
            end
        end
    end



Unfortunately on GetParam I don't know how to get the details of the last
key pressed, to see if it was a character or a control key.  I have tried
storing the last value, but that did not work as I wanted.

Is there an easy way to get the last key press back in GetParam?

 -- Check for AutoText on field
if param.type == 'STRING' then
    local ctrl = iup.GetParamHandle(param, "CONTROL")
    print(oldv[param_index + 1],param.value)
    if oldv[param_index + 1] == param.value then
        return 1
    else
        oldv[param_index + 1] = param.value
    end

    local tag = id[param_index + 1]
    if pRegions.shortcuts[tag] then
        local l = param.value:len()
        if l > 0 then
            for k,r in ipairs(pRegions.shortcuts[tag]) do
                local v = param.value:lower()
                local s = string.lower(r:sub(1,l))
                if v == s then
                    ctrl.value = r
                    ctrl.caretpos = l
                    ctrl.selectionpos = l..':999'
                    oldv[param_index + 1] = ctrl.value
                    return 0

                end
            end
        end
    end
