Specifically, the GLFW key code mapping since that's the current implementation on the flutter desktop embedding project. It can be extended to more implementations.

Specifically, the GLFW key code mapping since that's the current window implementation on the flutter desktop embedding project. It can extended to more implementations. GLFW offers a limited set of key codes, and requires custom logic from the embedder to provide the right values.
X11 doesn't seem to provide different keys for left/right modifiers so the side defaults to 'any'
https://code.woboq.org/qt5/include/X11/X.h.html#_M/ShiftMask
Example of data produced:
RawKeyEventDataLinux(keyLabel: $, keyCode: 52, scanCode: 13, codePoint: 36, modifiers: 1, modifiers down: {ModifierKey.shiftModifier: KeyboardSide.any})
LogicalKeyboardKey#00024(keyId: "0x00000024", keyLabel: "$", debugName: "Key $")
PhysicalKeyboardKey#70021(usbHidUsage: "0x00070021", debugName: "Digit 4")
This is not a breaking change.
