The newer macbooks certainly can distinguish: Right option shows
modifiers 0x80140, left option 0x80120. And right command shows up as
0x100108, left command 0x100110.
(Why haven't I found this useful app before? It's not as if I haven't
looked. Maybe my google-fu is too weak. Thanks for the pointer.
Actually, the app is found at http://www.manytricks.com/keycodes/ BTW.)
