Right. The rawkeydown handler shows this difference. It just doesn't
show anything (nor does "if the shiftkey is down") when I'm only
pressing the shiftkey and no other key.

iPhoto reacts when the option key is pressed with no other keys being
pressed. That's what I want to be able to do in Rev (and can do with
any other keyboard).

While I don't need a raw character number, I do need to be able to
respond to "if the optionkey is down", which I can with a regular
keyboard but which no longer works on the wireless one. :-(
