Seriously, Emacs is showing its age here; the correct fix is to fix Emacs to use a key-down/key-up mechanism if it wants to know the state of shift keys like "left shift", "right shift", "ctrl", "left alt", and "right alt", respectively. Alternately, use an X version of it, which is already interfaced this way Or use an editor that isn't expecting to toggle the high bit of a 7 bit ASCII character set to promiscuously encode key state for a key that never made it to the big time anywhere but the MIT media lab and SAIL.
