Synopsis Emulator requires distinguishing left/right Ctrl keys
Category java:classes_awt
Reported Against 1.1.6 , 1.2beta3
Release Fixed
State 11-Closed, duplicate of 4302270, request for enhancement
Priority: 4-Low
Related Bugs 4144876 , 4302270
Submit Date 22-MAY-1998
Description




The key event does not distinguish between the
left and right Ctrl keys, returning the same
key code and modifiers for both keys. A 3270
emulator provides standard keyboard support for
the left Ctrl key = reset, and the right Ctrl
key = enter.
Suggestion: Add a LEFT_MASK, RIGHT_MASK to the
java.awt.Event class for events that may be
generated by multiple keys. This would be
similar to the keypad implementation.

Bugid 4144876 also requests that we distinguish between the left and right 
control keys, and between the left and right alt keys as well.

Also need to tell the enter key on the keypad from the return key.  Both are
returning Keycode 10

Is there an implementation guidline for the bug documents 4302270 and 4144876.
I cannot seem to tell if the enhancements were completed or if the request(s)
were
simply closed.  (Please don't forget about the Keypad vs Keyboard ENTER key)
