>> NEW CODE TO CHECK FOR Shift_R
Well according to my AT tech ref., for the 101/102 key kbd, the 0xe0 0x36
sequence is the transmitted sequence when holding down the right shift
with the grey cursor keys, grey ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdn and keypad slash.
Also according to it (I haven't checked yet), if both shifts are held down,
then both the e0 2a and e0 36 sequences are sent.
I'm currently working on the keyboard driver to make some extra shift maps
(as I want the same key bindings in CRISP as I have in BRIEF) such that all
shift/ctrl/alt combinations can be recognised (8 tables).
I haven't yet decided how to deal with AltGr (maybe a special 9th table).

How about <Ctrl><AltGr> (or even <Right-Ctrl><Alt-Gr> ?
