Thank you for your comments.

To keep compatibility with the current WebKit, I thought 'm_ctrlKey' should
represent any control keys. Should we add comments to clarify this?

Thank you for noticing this.
I left this class unmodified in my previous change, because I'm wondering which
value we should set when we pressed a right modifier key and a left modifier
key, e.g. a right-shift key and a left-control key. As far as I read the DOM
Event spec, it does not write anything about such edge case. (This is also the
reason why my change just adds all right-modifier keys to the
PlatformKeyboardEvent class.)

Even though I prefer setting DOM_KEY_LOCATION_RIGHT when one of right modifier
keys are pressed, I'm not so confident of my opinion at all.
Would it be possible to give me your thoughts?
