🎛️ SDL modifier definitions 🎛️

Now the modifier squad. These are the vibes that tell you which keys are down. Periodt.

• KMOD_NUM — Numlock is down. Numlock said "I'm here." 🔢
• KMOD_CAPS — Capslock is down. WE ARE YELLING. 😭
• KMOD_LCTRL — Left Control is down. Left ctrl, represent. 🫶
• KMOD_RCTRL — Right Control is down. Right ctrl, also valid. ✨
• KMOD_RSHIFT — Right Shift is down. Right shift, doing its thing. 💖
• KMOD_LSHIFT — Left Shift is down. Left shift, iconic. 👑
• KMOD_RALT — Right Alt is down. Right alt, the alternative. 🌈
• KMOD_LALT — Left Alt is down. Left alt, main character. ⭐
• KMOD_CTRL — A Control key is down. Any ctrl? Say less. 💅
• KMOD_SHIFT — A Shift key is down. Any shift? We love. 🦋
• KMOD_ALT — An Alt key is down. Any alt? Periodt. 🎀
