    Modified Files:
    exec/load/sbbsdefs.js src/sbbs3/inkey.cpp sbbsdefs.h
    Log Message:
    Add new K_EXTKEYS mode flag for use with inkey(K_CTRLKEYS)

    ... for when a script wants to get all control key input but does *not* want
    to translate its own escape sequences for extended keys (e.g. arrows, home, end, page-up/down, etc.) and doesn't want to mess with console.ctrlkey_passthru.

    Log Message:
    Change of K_EXTKEYS to be used exclusive to (not used with) K_CTRLKEYS

    This allows a script that relies on K_EXTKEYS (e.g. utopia.js) to still work with older SBBS (e.g. v3.20) - yeah, the global hot keys (e.g. Ctrl-T/U/P, etc.) will mess up the display, but that's better than not having arrow key support.
