Subject: bug#7458: Distinguishing between left/right command and control keys in OSX

Thanks for that. When I set
ns-right-command-modifier
to meta, Emacs correctly interprets commands like:
M-v
but if I try to use a command like C-M-v, Emacs says:
<C-M-268632086> is undefined.
I presume that OSX is still catching the command key although Emacs  
can interpret it as meta.

If I set ns-command-modifier to meta I do not have this problem.

Also, if I set ns-right-control-modifier to meta, Emacs does not  
interpret right control correctly. That is it inteprets
<right control>-v as C-v
and
C-<right control>-v as C-v
when ns-right-control-modifier is set to meta.

Thanks,
Rob
