	Method and apparatus for modifying characters entered on a computer keyboard - Patent 5574447
		The keyboard of claim 4 wherein the predetermined key code of a non-space character is the key code of a backspace character, and the means for modifying the key code if pressure is applied to the space key in the at least one additional sideways direction performs the modification function of a SHIFT key.
		The keyboard of claim 14 wherein the key code of a predetermined non-space character is the key code of a backspace character, and the means for modifying the key code if pressure is applied to the space key in the at least one additional sideways direction performs the modification function of a SHIFT key.

		Modifier Key This is a key like shift or control, which is used to alter the interpretation of other keys which are held down at the same time.
		If ifmod was specified and the key in question (as determined by the argument or by the invoking event) is not a modifier key, then this action is not executed.

	The Basics
		The basic modifier keys are all very well but it would be handy to be able to introduce a level of abstraction, so that you can talk about modifier keys by function, rather than by explicit key name.
		Virtual modifiers can then be used to describe the behaviour of the keyboard, decoupling the exact physical capabilities of the keyboard you are using from the sort of characters that you want to type.
		Raw key codes are the numeric codes generated by a particular keyboard to indicate that a key has been pressed or released.

	The Llewellyn Encyclopedia: Astrology
		Aries The best quality of Aries is leadership. The worst quality is officiousness. A key phrase is “I am.” The Aries personality is energetic and ambitious. Aries wants to be in command and to be in the forefront of every activity. Courage is a strong personality trait.
		Leo The best quality of Leo is kindness. The worst quality is domination. A key phrase is "I lead." The Leo personality is strong, even majestic. Leo wants to be dignified in every situation, and also may want to dominate. Stability is a pronounced trait.
		The Leo mental process tends toward large ideas. Leo is determined to rise to a position of authority and despises petty tasks. The desire for personal glory sometimes leads Leo’s reach to exceed the grasp in the pursuit of honors or high office. The individual will is generally focused, and cannot be easily swayed.

	KbdEdit Manual - Low Level Editor Modifiers
		Modifier keys do not produce any characters themselves, but their combined state (on/off) defines which (if any) characters are generated by character-producing keys.
		To completely disable a modifier key, including all keyboard shortcuts it is part of, it is necessary to remove the modifier virtual code from the underlying physical key(s).
		This is done either by assigning an “empty” code to the physical key (as described in Editing virtual key mappings), or by assigning it a different virtual code which effectively changes the key’s function.

		The modifier flags field is composed of a combination of single letter representations of the various modifier types.

		When it is bound to a key sequence, a series of character invocations and modifier actions are automatically generated rather than a single keystroke.

	How to Write a Key Listener (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing > Writing Event Listeners)
		Specifically, key events are fired by the component with the keyboard focus when the user presses or releases keyboard keys.
		Most key events are fired from the standard keyboard, but the events for some keys, such as Shift, have information on whether the user pressed the Shift key on the left or the right side of the keyboard.
		Reports all key events that occur on a text field to demonstrate the circumstances under which key events are fired.

	man: dumpkeymap
		The shift, command, and alternate modifiers are frequently mapped to two different scan codes, apiece, since these modifiers often appear on both the left and right sides of the key- board.
		A sequence is a series of modifiers and characters which are automati- cally generated when the associated key is depressed.
		For each modifier record, the modi- fier's name is printed along with a list of scan codes, in hexadecimal format, which generate that modifier value.

	The JavaScript Event Model: Part Two
		It is able to detect all the modifiers, and also blocks the default action of the CTRL and ALT keys for some browsers.
		It's important to stress here that for every key combination, this event handler is executed twice: once for the modifier key, so that the handler can determine what modifier is being pressed, and once for the follow-up key.
		In order for the handler to remember which modifier was pressed, it stores the modifier key as a global variable.

	Keyboard events and key identifiers
		When a key cannot be mapped to Unicode, a specific identifier is used (see also Guidelines for defining key identifiers).
		If the key is part of a sequence of several keystrokes, whether it is a dead key or it is contributing to an Input Method Editor sequence, the keystroke is ignored (not taken into account) only if the default action is canceled on the keydown event.
		As an example, the Enter key is mapped to the key identifier "Enter" and not to "U+000A" (Line Feed), given that this key generates the character "U+000A" on Unix operating systems and the characters "U+000D" and "U+000A" on Windows operating systems.

	Director Online Article: Making Modifier Key Events
		My particular need was to have a modifier key trigger a chain of events for the purpose of displaying command key graphics.
		Whatever method we choose to perform the check for the keys, the problem here is that we need to send an event on a keypress and release, not all the time the key is held down.
		Now, if a property is set up for each key we wish to store the state of when a key is pressed, we can check and see its current state value and determine if it is already down or up.

		To define a function key first set the Modifier Key to 'None', 'Ctrl', or 'Shift' and click on any of the function keys (F1-F4 in the non-registered version) and you will be shown a configuration window that will allow you to define text for that key (plus the modifier key):
		Once the function key is now defined just hit the OK button and that key is not defined.
		For Example, the F1 key is used for HELP in many programs, while My Function Keys is running, you can use F1 to paste the text that you desire.

		The second attribute is a bit mask representing the combination of modifier keys that was pressed.

		If the arrow key is pressed in conjunction with one of the modifier keys, the screen immediately begins to scroll, leaving the cursor in its screen-relative position, without having to cause the cursor reach one of the screen edges.
		The modifier keys were designed in such a manner so that you're left with the feeling of increasingly putting "the pedal to the metal," accelerating the rate at which you scroll, but leaving you with an easy mechanism to choose the rate at which you scroll.
		The function keys F1 through F12, when pressed with the CTRL modifier key, engage specific terminal display functions, allowing you to change the appearance of your screen "on the fly." The first four function keys control screen size.

		However, the sounds are different for pressing a modifier key the first time (holding it for only one character), pressing a modifier key the second time (locking it until further notice), and pressing a modifier key the third time (unlocking it).
