please consider making Shift-R a QWERKEY #2

I have a hard time hitting the left side QWERK modified keys because of not having a QWERKEY modifier key on the right side. Since I have moved "?" to the "]" labelled key, having "?" on the Right-"Shift" labelled key is a bit redundant, so instead I use it as a QWERKEY modifier.

I am attaching a script called rightShiftIsQwerkeyModifier.txt along with a cheatsheet called qrk-right-and-left.png that does this:

rightShiftIsQwerkeyModifier.txt

qrk-right-and-left

Please note that it may be necessary to run a webbrowser in the background if this script makes the modifiers keys require double presses, as explained in my comments to Issue #1.

I configured xmonad in a way that is very close to the default config, but works well with QWERKEY, because it only binds a few keys (right-ALT, control-. and control-/. I am attaching my xmonad.hs (but i had to rename it to xmonad.hs.txt to attach it, you should rename it back if you want to try it out) and a cheatsheet.
