You don't say whether you are running VMS or Ultrix.

Under Ultrix, the device driver and server do not know about
the additional modifier keys; the system is treating the LK401
as a LK201.  And beware, before Ultrix 4.0, an LK401 may not work
at all on DECstations (depending upon the revision of the LK401; early
production LK401's interact badly with the older drivers).  
The new driver and server for multi-screen
DECstation 5000's, which will be in the next functional release, does
have support for the LK401.  Whether this driver and server will ever
be retrofitted onto VAXstations I can't say, as I'm not in the engineering
group responsible.

I can't speak for VMS.
