ok, i was wrong, you NEED to use the KMOD constants, not the K - 
Keycodes, KMOD_RCTRL != K_RCTRL.

pygame.key.get_mods() gives the a bitmask of the modifiers pressed at 
the time called, and you have to find out which they are, that's what 
the KMOD_* - constants are used for.

if event.type == KEYDOWN:
  if event.key == K_f:
     mods = pygame.key.get_mods()             # an integer representing 
the
      if mods & (KMOD_RCTRL | KMOD_LCTRL):      # pressed modifier keys 
(shift, alt, ctrl...)
                  do_stuff()


should work, but not tested in any way
