[Suggestion] Document solution for getting locale-specific key names from SC + Extended flag #54

With no forum or anything, I thought I would post this here.
I found this handy article that laid out a way to get key names from SC + extended flag. I spent quite some time looking into ways of doing this and this was the only one I found that properly differentiated between left and right CTRL.
From my (limited) understanding of the subject, this is not going to be of huge use in a typing scenario where the state of other keys may dictate what character appears on the screen when you hit a key, but for scenarios where you just need to give each SC a friendly name that a human can understand, this seems to be a simple solution, and may be worth documenting or something.

Thanks for suggesting.
