Well you this wont work in all browsers just IE 8. Microsoft implemented the ability to determine which (right/left) key was pressed. Here is a link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms534630(VS.85).aspx
I also found this wonder article about keypress, keyup, keydown event in browsers.

$('#someelement').bind('click', function(event){
if(event.ctrlKey) {
if (event.ctrlLeft) {
console.log('ctrl-left');
}
else {
console.log('ctrl-right');
}
}
if(event.altKey) {
if (event.altLeft) {
console.log('alt-left');
}
else {
console.log('alt-right');
}
}
if(event.shiftKey) {
if (event.shiftLeft) {
console.log('shift-left');
}
else
{
console.log('shift-right');
}
}
});
