Re: [Qemacs-devel] Shift_L and Shift_R modifier keys seem not to be working(?)

Hi Clemmitt,

Thank you for your feedback.
I have a couple of patches to check in for the X11 module.
I mainly use the terminal version on both Linux and OS/X,
I shall try and verify the X code on both systems too.

Cheers

Chqrlie.
