In general xdosemu should get all keypresses without limits. Some window managers have a tendency to steal some of them though. The keystroke problem is really only for terminals. Maybe some improvement is possible in the future though: in my xterm now (using 'cat'): left arrow ^[[D shift+left arrow ^[[2D alt+left arrow ^[[3D ctrl+left arrow ^[[5D so these all give different escape codes so dosemu should be able to recognize them. but you won't be able get alt (alone) to enable the menu bar like in MSDOS edit.
