Re: [Bug: 21.5-b23] Shift modifier not detected for function keys

Most likely this does not help, but just to make sure: did you try:
keysym F1 = F1
Uwe, you made my day -- that's it! (Even worse, I know about similar problems
and should have checked the keysym definitions myself.)
For the sake of the list archive:
Fn keysym definitions on SUSE's X server include symbols that denote the virtual
console switching capability. E.g., xmodmap -pk | grep F5 outputs
71 0xffc2 (F5) 0x1008fe05 (XF86_Switch_VT_5)
etc. There are other problematic keys that one can detect with
xmodmap -pk | grep XF86 .
With your definition, the XF86_Switch_VT_5 is discarded, there ain't no `shift
keysym' anymore, and the Shift modifier is correctly asociated.
(Interestingly, xev doesn't report that XF86_Switch_VT_5 either, otherwise I
would have seen it immediately. Maybe that's because it's from XF86keysym.h and
not from keysymdef.h.)
Cheers,
Joachim
