Hi,

one of our users informed us about a bug in the KDE Wacom KCM which makes it 
impossible to set keys which require the shift-key to be pressed. It turned 
out that xsetwacom always sends the unshifted base form of the key, unless you 
actually include the shift modifier.

For instance:

xsetwacom ... set Button 1 "key exclam"

... will always send a "1" if you have an english keyboard layout where the 
"!" is Shift-1.

However, if you map the button to...

xsetwacom ... set Button 1 "key +shift exclam -shift"

... or ...

xsetwacom ... set Button 1 "key +shift 1 -shift"

... then it will correcly send a "!" key event. The same is true for any key 
which requires you to press the shift modifier.

>From my point of view "key exclam" should correctly send a '!', as that is 
what the user intended. However I'm not sure how this is supposed to work on 
your side.

Do you consider this to be a bug or do we have to fix this on our side by 
translating such keys back to the actual keyboard shortcut?

Greetings,
Alex
