KeyCode values

So my issues with accelerators have mostly been figured out. (Thanks Pavel.)
A bug was identified in KeyCharacterCombination where multiple keys can match, but only one of the KeyCodes is matched currently ("+" only matches the one on the EQUALS key, not the numpad version, same for / * - 0-9). See RT-27602
This lead me to discover a new issue.
KeyCodes are supposed to identify a physical key on the keyboard. E.g. there is one for PLUS, and one for ADD - the plus sign on the numeric keypad (bad name if you ask me, but it works)
There are KeyCodes for SHIFT, CTRL, ALT, META, etc., but I don't see how to differentiate between the left and right versions of these keys.
Why would I want to? Consider a pinball game done in JavaFX. Usually the shift keys are used to control the flippers in computer-based pinball simulations.
Shall I file a bug, or am I missing something?
Scott
