This key has three symbols: "back-quote" '`', "logical-not" (0xac in
ISO latin-1, 0xaa in CP850), and "vertical bar/pipe", right?
# The vertical bar/pipe char can be obtained from another key (keycode
# 86), right?
In your fix, the key gives "back-quote" if unshifted, "pipe" if
shifted, "back-quote" if Alt is held down.
I wonder if the following is more consistent with the way the symbols
are printed on the key top; "back-quote" if unshifted, "logical-not"
if shifted and "pipe" if Alt is held down.
Also, I think the key shouldn't give a control char "fs" when the Ctrl
is held down, as "fs" is for '^\' and '\' is not defined for this key
anymore.
Do you find this reasonable?
