JDK-4141471 - Emulator requires distinguishing left/right Ctrl keys
Description

Name: clC74495			Date: 06/02/98


It's too bad since mainframe host access is one of the areas
that large Enterprises have expressed an interest with respect
to Internet integration through Java.  The WIN app's will
always be nicer partly because users have come to expect
that the right control and alt key can be mapped to invoke
particular and entrenched ways of doing things on IBM 3270
and 5250 keyboards.

KeyEvent does not differentiate between right and left.
Java host access applet's are 'crippled' as a result.

EVALUATION The submitter seems to be asking that we provide a way to distinguish between the right and left control keys. This request is also made in bug 4141471. eric.hawkes@eng 1999-12-30
