I may be wrong because I do not have the manuals in front of me and it has
been quite a while since I have looked at this section, but it seems to me
that even if the CNTL and SHFT keys were hard coded, that you could remap
all of the control keys to look shifted and all of the shft keys to look
controled (i.e. ^A = A and A = ^A). They only thing you would loose is that
shift-lock would be a control-lock instead.
