xsetwacom accepts keys in X11 KeySyms format. To make the interface
user friendly, we mapped a set of modifiers to aliases that can be
recognized by most users. But, there are a few less recognizable or
confusing keys/modifiers left. This patch tells users where to find
the X11 KeySyms code they are looking for.
Return key is added as a bonus (by-product ;).
