Dave:
Look for a file named defkeymap.map - it's probably in your /etc directory.
In that file are defined the codes returned by all keys and states.
It gets loaded on startup, but if you change it, you can re-load it by typing
loadkeys -d
........excerpt.................
keycode 101 = Break
keycode 102 = Find
keycode 103 = Up
-- no ctl/shift/alt states are defined, so I added the following 3 lines:
shift keycode 103 = 89
control keycode 103 = 90
alt keycode 103 = 91
-- now, when I run key.ex, it returns 89, 90 and 91 respectively.
-- as far as I know, you can choose any unused number between 0 and 255
-- to be the return code. Be sure to get rid of these Euphoria comments!
keycode 104 = Prior
shift keycode 104 = Scroll_Backward
keycode 105 = Left
alt keycode 105 = Decr_Console
keycode 106 = Right
alt keycode 106 = Incr_Console
keycode 107 = Select
keycode 108 = Down
keycode 109 = Next
