Are you sure you understand how those keys are supposed to work?  They
do not produce characters.  Rather, they modify the immediately
preceding character, IF appropriate.  E.g., you can type an "a" followed
by right-shift 7 to produce an "a" with an accent mark.  See page 53 of
the manual, "Generating Accented Characters".
