Why does Vim not distinguish right and left CTRL, SHIFT, ALT keys ?

Hi

"Why" is a long story, mostly ancient (in computer terms) history. It has been recognized as a weakness in vim and much discussed, but no one has taken on the task of improving the key handling AFAIK.

However, at a lower level one can do a lot. I use xmodmap when I'm on X (linux and unix) to make windows keys usable with vim. There's hot key utilities for windows.
