Custom.Keystrokes not being recognized correctly under JDK 11

[WildWilly]

 First bug report under my brand spanking new Java.  The Custom.Keystrokes are recognized fine when I use LeftAlt+my defined key but not when I use RightAlt.  I have several keystrokes defined for jumping to folders, all of them defined as Alt+[a letter].  For example:

ALT+i gotoFolder(inbox)

This works only with the LeftAlt but not with RightAlt.  I'm pretty sure this was working with both Alt keys before I went to JDK 11.

I've been looking at this. There is definitely a distinction being made in Java between the left/right Alt keys.

Try Alt+Alt+KEYSTROKE to see if that works for the right side.

e.g., Alt+Alt+i gotoFolder(Inbox)

Glad to know I wasn't just hallucinating this.

Did this work for you when you tried it? I assume you did try it, right? It makes no difference
for me. I already had Alt+i defined for going to the Inbox. When I added the line you suggested,
it made no difference. RightAlt+i did nothing. RightAlt+LeftAlt+i & LeftAlt+RightAlt+i similarly
did nothing. I got no error but also no jump to the folder. Is there perhaps some debugging I
could turn on so you could see something in DEBUG.OUT? Right now, I'm seeing this:

And that includes attempting to use RightAlt with i. It appears the double-Alt line in
Custom.Keystrokes is simply being ignored. You're going to have to go a long, long way to convince
me you actually tried this yourself before recommending it to me.

Well, I am looking at it from a different perspective than you and what I can try (or even see) isn't the same as what you can try. I've already dug enough into that code to see that something like Alt+Alt was being returned which is why I suggested to try it. I couldn't prove it would work for you because your code is different than what I'm running.

In any case, that wouldn't have worked as it really needs to be "Alt+Alt Graph" which isn't something you can enter into the custom keystroke file as it has a blank there. 

I've fixed it in the handler for all this such that it normalizes these differences plus things that are different on Mac OS X (very different). This will make the custom keystroke files standard across platforms (still need to ensure this is working on Linux). Also, no distinction will occur between left/right Alt keys.

The odd thing is it's only the Alt key that does this, not the Ctrl or for Windows, the Windows key, but on a Mac, that's the Command key which doesn't interrupt things, it acts as another modifier key. But on the Mac, I normalized that to Alt as well until someone complains. I'm preferring consistent custom keystroke files versus incompatible ones.
