translate keys to keysyms
shift state is embedded in keysym
alt/ctrl/meta are stored separately, also caps/num/scroll lock
shift state also stored separately
X to keysym:
keycode + shift -> keysym via XLookupString()
X from keysym:
keysym -> XKeysymToKeycode() or XGetKeyboardMapping() and search for index
must synth shift key events to get correct index for key
Win32 to keysym:
VK code + shift -> keysym via table lookup
Win32 from keysym:
VK code and shift via table lookup
must synth shift key events to get correct character for key
don't allow leaving screen when any key is down
that includes shift keys
caps lock, etc must not be down but can be on
