This enum is a bit tricky. The lower part is the key code, the upper part
contains bits that indicate whether Shift, Control or Alt are pressed,
and only these upper bits can be or-ed. They key codes are masked by
Keys.KeyCode, and the upper bits (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) are masked by the
Keys.Modifiers value.
