Well, on my US keyboard, I don't have an "AltGr" key, and I tried all
combinations of "Ctrl", "Alt", "Shift" and "Windoze", and none of them
produces 0x80.  "Windoze" sets the state 0x40, which is the highest
state value my keyboard can produce (aside from
"Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Windoze", of course, which is simply an OR, and is
0x4d).
