[Bug-xnee] cnee - What is the correct syntax for the --stop-key value?

I am using cnee, running it from a terminal.

$ cnee --version xnee 3.19 Copyright (C) 2000-2013 Henrik Sandklef

Can someone tell me the correct syntax to use for a stop-key?  I can't use a normal letter like q like the example because I need to use a key that I won't have in the document I'm typing.

For example, if I would like to stop recording when I press Ctrl-Shift-r (all 3 keys), what should I tell it for a stop-key value?

I tried many variations (control, ctrl, Control, Ctrl, +, -, <Ctrl>, etc) but all get an error similar to

SYNTAX ERROR Couldn't convert string "ctrl-shift-r" to an int

cnee --record --stop-key ctrl-shift-r --keyboard -o ~/xnee.xns -e ~/xnee.log -v

I also tried a simpler key, the f4 key but also get an error

cnee --record -sk f4 --keyboard -o ~/xneef4a.xns -e ~/xneef4a.log -v

PS:  I don't have an xnee or Xnee binary program (running under a Debian Stretch based distro), but found syntax in an xnee manual online, and tried --stop-key Control+Shift,r but I get similar errors. 

cnee --record --stop-key Control+Shift,r --keyboard -o ~/xneera.xns -e ~/xneera.log

I am guessing it is just that I'm not typing it in an acceptable format...

Thanks for any help :)
