	KeyMap - Manage maps of handlers for key events - search.cpan.org
		Each rule has a key specification or a regexp specification, and a handler to be called whenever the specification is met.
		Whenever a key event is received, it is converted into a keyname, and then that keynames is compared against the regex rules, in order : the first rule that matches calls the corresponding handler and terminates the event handling process.
		The reason is that the Shift modifier heavily depends on which keyboard the user is using, and often the user really has no choice on pressing or not the Shift key (this would generate a different keycode).
