Improved fix for bug 2096 - Mapping from scancode to keycode doesn't work for remapped modifier keys Zack Middleton The change to the keymap to use SDL_SCANCODE_TO_KEYCODE in SDL_x11keyboard.c causes all SDL scancodes without a Usc4 character to be XOR'd with SDLK_SCANCODE_MASK, but not all key code are suppose to be (as seen in include/SDL_keycodes.h). SDLK_BACKSPACE is not 0x4000002A. I think the full list of keys affected are return, escape, backspace, tab, and delete.
