* Windows only gives us an undifferentiated VK_CONTROL code (for
* example) when either Control key is pressed. To distinguish between
- * left and right, we have to query the state of one of the two to
- * determine which was actually pressed. So if the keycode indicates
- * Control, Shift, or Menu (the key that everybody else calls Alt), do
- * this extra test. If the right-side key was pressed, return the
- * appropriate keycode. Otherwise, we fall through and rely on the
- * keymap table to hold the correct keysym value.
+ * left and right, we use the Extended flag. Indeed, the right Control
+ * and Alt (aka Menu) keys are such extended keys (which their left
+ * counterparts are not).
+ * Regarding the shift case, Windows does not set the Extended flag for
+ * the neither the left nor the right shift key. As a consequence another
+ * way to distinguish between the two keys is to query the state of one
+ * of the two to determine which was actually pressed. So if the keycode
+ * indicates Shift, do this extra test. If the right-side key was
+ * pressed, return the appropriate keycode. Otherwise, we fall through
+ * and rely on the keymap table to hold the correct keysym value.
+ * Note: this little trick only works for KeyPress, not for KeyRelease,
+ * for reasons stated in bug [2945130]
