Public bug reported:
I need the key combinations Alt+< and Alt+> for the shell and for Emacs.
With my new keyboard, which accesses > and < thourgh a Fn ("function")
key, the combination Alt+< works, whereas Alt+> does not work. The
output of evtest is:
Event: time 1426697967.687802, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 700e2
Event: time 1426697967.687802, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 56 (KEY_LEFTALT), value 1

Thus, KEY_LEFTALT is disabled immediately after the KEY_LEFTSHIFT event,
which is implicitly generated because ">" doesn't need the shift key on
this keyboard, just the Fn key. In other words, the "... KEY_LEFTALT),
value 0" is generated too early.
