Shift vs. lshift & rshift #344

Closed capnlove closed 8 years ago

capnlove commented 8 years ago

In the createEventDescriptor method of ActionMap, when binding an Action to a key with a modifier (i.e. "shift w") only "shift", "ctrl", "alt", "cmd" or "opt" may be used.

When a modifier key is bound by itself, "lshift" or "rshift" can be used, "latl" and "ralt" and "lcontrol" and "rcontrol" can be specified, specifying the right or left ctrl/alt/shift keys on keyboards.

Option A - The documentation should reflect that binding modifier + keys only accepts general-purpose bindings Option B - Change createEventDescriptor to accept left and right variations of each key.

I prefer option 2. I'm getting the impression that nobody has looked at this in a long time. Thanks for logging these issues.

Already taken care of in #343

I remember seeing this a decade ago when I made my first game with the engine and couldn't use the left and right variations with other keys. Thanks for fixing this!
