Need a way to get available keyboard and mouse capabilities

      We need a way to get the keys that are available on the keyboard currently
      in use (e.g. does the keyboard have a numpad separator key, a mouse wheel,
      a middle mouse button, an @ key on the primary layer).

      The motivation for providing this capability is bugs such as: 4342183,
      4342186, and probably others.

      The root cause of 4342183, etc., is that behavior is undefined when you
      try to press a button that does not exist. Perhaps we should throw a runtime
      exception when this happens. It would be up to clients to get the capabilities
      first, or deal with the exception.
