We can talk about CTRL returning GGI_KEY_CTRL? as a symbol, too ...
Not sure about that.

The CTRL? stands for [L/R/] depending on the available granularity.

BTW: If X or some other target can't report Ctrl reasonably, it is legal
to leave out the CTRL events.

The label for "c" is "C", because that's what is usually actually printed
on the key.

IIRC the X target doesn't handle modifiers right and always returns just
the lowercase letter.

CU, Andy
