    Is this related? (using showkey -a for information)

    alt+shift+number sends ^[ and the number instead of ^[ and the punctuation associated with the number.

    alt+number doesn't send anything all.

    That might end up being related. It's certainly good info to have, thanks!

    Does it fix the Alt-Gr key too?

    Hermès BÉLUSCA - MAÏTO (@HBelusca) I doubt it - I don't really have an alt-gr keyboard to test however :/
