Add ability to distinguish left and right modifiers?

It would be nice to be able to use hyper key with extra modifiers.

That's not a super high priority feature for me, but if you wanted to submit a PR I'd merge it.

You'd want to use the raw flags instead:

• https://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/hs.eventtap.event.html#rawFlags
• https://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/hs.eventtap.event.html#rawFlagMasks

but the caveat is that you can't break the current interface for building a HyperKey, which currently takes a table of modifiers like so:

hyperKey = HyperKey:new({'cmd','shift','ctrl','alt'})
-- or
hyperKey = HyperKey:new({'cmd','shift','ctrl','alt'}, { ...extra options })

You'd need to figure out how to keep this API shape while making left/right modifiers "work".

• Do you take variable arguments to the constructor?
• Do you create a different constructor for raw flags mode?
• Do you add an extra option to the 2nd parameter?
• Do you add new modifier flags like {'left cmd', 'right alt'}?

If you're up for the work let me know. If you're not up for it, please also let me know so we can close the ticket out.

I'll take a look into doing it. I might be have time to do it, but I'm not sure.
