Changed the definition of KeyEvent to be positional. The implementation has not been written, and thus the package will not build yet.

// I try to handle physical keys instead of equivalent
// characters. Therefore, what happens when the user
// inserts a non-ASCII character is undefined (some systems
// will give package ui the underlying ASCII key and we
// return it; other systems do not). This is especially important
// if the given input method uses Modifiers to enter characters.
// If the parenthesized rule cannot be followed and the user
// enters a non-ASCII character, it will be ignored (package ui
// will act as above regarding keys it cannot handle).
// In general, alphanumeric characters, ',', '.', '+', '-', and the
// (space) should be available on all keyboards. Other ASCII
// whitespace keys mentioned below may be available, but
// mind layout differences.
// Whether or not alphabetic characters are uppercase or
// lowercase is undefined, and cannot be determined solely
// by examining Modifiers for Shift. Correct code should handle
// both uppercase and lowercase identically.
// In addition, ASCII will contain

// to the left of 'z' or additional keys to the right of '='; these
