Hi Tony.
Thanks to your advice, and I could have guessed that this is not a bug of
Vim but
some other software.
After checking my Ubuntu PC, I found strange key bindings that changes
key input from English to Japanese Kana input. And because of this bindings,
when I hit shit + alt or alt + shift in normal mode of Vim, no input was
possible.
Since with alt and shift key bindings, input mode had changed from English
to Japanese!
Vim do not understand any Japanese charactar in normal mode.
First time I thought its my input method doing this strange thing, and
checked
the relative config files but in vain.
Then I checked InputDevice Section in xorg.conf and finally I found where
the alt + shift combination key bindings was defined like as follows.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "jp106"
Option "XkbLayout" "jp,jp"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
Option "XkbVariant" "106,kana"
EndSection
This is default settins of my Ubuntu machine.
So, I changed this settings as follows.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "jp106"
Option "XkbLayout" "jp"
EndSection
and restarted X server and found alt + shift key bindings to disapear!
This will be a bug in Ubuntu xorg.conf.
Now everythings fine. My Vim get control of alt + shift keys :-)
Thanks
