What were you trying to do?
Use the Shift and Alt keys.
What's wrong:
Intermittently, I'd have problems. This is an example of
weirdness I saw fooling around with xev:
I press and hold Shift:
KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x3400025, time 3087951325, (73,112), root:(589,571),
state 0x0, keycode 174 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
I press and hold the left Alt key:
KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x3400025, time 3087953204, (73,112), root:(589,571),
state 0x1, keycode 172 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
I press and release the `o' key, without letting go of Shift and Alt_L:
KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x3400025, time 3087955094, (73,112), root:(589,571),
state 0x9, keycode 235 (keysym 0x4f, O), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 characters: "O"
KeyRelease event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x3400025, time 3087955317, (73,112), root:(589,571),
state 0x9, keycode 235 (keysym 0x4f, O), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 characters: "O"
KeyRelease event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x3400025, time 3087955317, (73,112), root:(589,571),
state 0x9, keycode 172 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
KeyRelease event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x3400025, time 3087955317, (73,112), root:(589,571),
state 0x1, keycode 174 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
I let go of Shift and Alt_L:
KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x3400025, time 3087977829, (73,112), root:(589,571),
state 0x0, keycode 172 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x29, subw 0x3400025, time 3087977833, (73,112), root:(589,571),
state 0x8, keycode 174 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
What should have happened:
It shouldn't get confused.
