Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xbindkeys

>From another computer, I have some definitions for xbindkeys (made with
xbindkeys-config). These key codes work correctly.

>From the config file for example:

#esword_split
"~/scripts/esword_split"
#    m:0x1d + c:39
    Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s 

will work and run the script I have made.

However, if you run

xbindkeys -k one gets this:

"NoCommand"
    m:0x201d + c:39
    Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s

Notice the to different m: values. The one obtained with xbindkeys -k is
inaccurate. Hence, I can define no new keyboard commands.

In the working example above, if one comments out the m: line like this:

#esword_split
"~/scripts/esword_split"
#    m:0x1d + c:39
    Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s 

It breaks and won't work. Commenting out the more human readable line
like this:

#esword_split
"~/scripts/esword_split"
    m:0x1d + c:39
#    Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s 

Allows it to work.

Sadly, nothing is reading correctly with xbindkeys -k

This is a toshiba satellite A505-S6965 laptop.

Not sure to proceed from here.
