No change.

Timothy Olson's suggestion that the the key sequence is important
seems to be correct. With the SHIFT-ALT-T combination, for example,
pressing the SHIFT key slightly earlier than the others consistently
puts an upper-case T at the cursor position. When I press the ALT key
slightly earlier, the combination does what it's supposed to.

Here's what's in my *.kbd file for this particular combination:

KEYS=104
CTRL=29,99
ALT=56,98
SHIFT=42,54
CAPS=58,T:C

TABLE=ALT+SHIFT

20=NI,BC,r,u,n, ,c,:,\,w,d,p,r,\,x,y,w,r,3,\,c,a,l,t,r,m,d,r,.,p,g,m,XC

(For the record, I always use the left-hand SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys
for key combinations like this.)
