Play around with this:

var myDlg = new Window("dialog");
var button = myDlg.add("button", undefined, "TEST");

button.onClick = function() {
	if ( ScriptUI.environment.keyboardState.altKey ) {
		alert("Alt + button click");
	}else if ( ScriptUI.environment.keyboardState.ctrlKey ) {
		alert("Ctrl + button click");
	}else{
		alert("button click");
	}
}

myDlg.show();

    You will have to explicitly remap such functions by defining the inbut keys. They're not predefined. Generally, though, it's not a good idea to hide multiple functions behind buttons in scripts. Simply create a separate button.
