JDK-4427794 - need to differentiate between left_shift key and right_shift_keys
Description
It would be very helpful if it was possible to press left/right shift, alt, ctrl with Robot.  I think this higher level function support will simplify developers' life.

Also, it would be helpful if Robot could simulate pressing of AltGraph (key code 65406), KANA_LOCK, KANA, HIRAGANA, KATAKANA, etc.  Currently, Robot thorws an exception when these key codes are pressed.
