Description Xerxes Rånby 2014-06-25 22:52:34 CEST 
AWT KeyEvent have a concept of e.getKeyLocation() to help determine if you press left or right shift/control keys while NEWT API do not have this concept.

This bug suggest that we instead enhance the NEWT KeyEvents to add new VK key codes with _RIGHT suffix for the right shift and control key.

VK_CONTROL_RIGHT
Constant for the right sided CTRL function key.

VK_SHIFT_RIGHT
Constant for the right sided SHIFT function key.
