-- Due to non trivial abuse or `pairs` in older code, the private data cannot
-- be stored in the object itself without creating subtle bugs. This cannot be
-- fixed internally because the default `rc.lua` uses `gears.table.join`, which
-- is affected.
--TODO v6: Drop this

--- Modifiers to ignore.
--
-- By default this is initialized as `{ "Lock", "Mod2" }`
-- so the `Caps Lock` or `Num Lock` modifier are not taking into account by awesome
-- when pressing keys.

    LEFT        = 1,-- The left mouse button.
    MIDDLE      = 2,-- The scrollwheel button.

    SCROLL_UP   = 4,-- A scroll up increment.
    SCROLL_DOWN = 5,-- A scroll down increment.
}

--- The table of modifier keys.
--
-- A modifier, such as `Control` are a predetermined set of keys that can be
-- used to implement keybindings. Note that this list is fix and cannot be
-- extended using random key names, code or characters.
--
-- Common modifiers are:
--
-- <table class='widget_list' border=1>
--  <tr style='font-weight: bold;'>
--   <th align='center'>Name</th>
--   <th align='center'>Description</th>
--  </tr>
--  <tr><td>Mod1</td><td>Usually called Alt on PCs and Option on Macs</td></tr>
--  <tr><td>Mod4</td><td>Also called Super, Windows and Command ⌘</td></tr>
--  <tr><td>Mod5</td><td>Also called AltGr or ISO Level 3</td></tr>
--  <tr><td>Shift</td><td>Both left and right shift keys</td></tr>
--  <tr><td>Control</td><td>Also called CTRL on some keyboards</td></tr>
-- </table>
--
-- Please note that Awesome ignores the status of "Lock" and "Mod2" (Num Lock).
