 - Fixed an issue in `Keyboard` where the sub-script operator would return a `null` key control for the deprecated key `Key.IMESelected`. Now, an aliased `KeyControl`mapping to the IMESelected bit is returned for compability reasons. It is still strongly advised to not rely on this key since `IMESelected` bit isn't strictly a key and will be removed from the `Key` enumeration type in a future major revision.
