Same on mine. I seem to remember though that at least some ADB 
keyboards could be told to send different scancodes for left/right 
shift, command etc. but that's probably for full-size, external ones 
only and those don't have the enter key in a place where it would be an 
obvious replacement for level 3 shift.
