Enum ModifierKey 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum ModifierKey {
    Shift,
    Control,
    Alt,
    Super,
}

A modifier key pressed as a standalone key event, independent of the KeyModifiers flags carried on non-modifier key events.

This is flat (no per-side variants) because side is conveyed separately: pair this with the surrounding KeyEvent’s KeyLocation::Left/KeyLocation::Right rather than duplicating left/right into ModifierKey itself.

Reporting a bare modifier press as a KeyCode::Modifier event is backend-dependent: the crossterm backend requires the terminal to support the kitty keyboard protocol with the REPORT_ALL_KEYS_AS_ESCAPE_CODES enhancement flag enabled; plain terminals never report these.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Shift

Shift.

Control

Control.

Alt

Alt.

Super

Super/Meta (macOS Cmd, Windows/Super key).
