From: Christopher A Kent 
The latest MacWorld has an article on the Mac Keyboard. One of the
comments is that the various shift keys (at least some of Caps Lock,
Shift, Option and Clover) are not scanned out of the keyswitch matrix,
but rather have direct connections to the 8021. One could read between
the lines and give this the interpretation that these keys are NOT
available in the Mac's bitmap (say, for a program to examine
individually to do shift-mouse), but are treated strictly as modifiers
to the keys in the main keyswitch matrix. 

Can anyone verify or deny this?
