One trick to tame a Xy keyboard layout is to give the shifting keys
non-standard names in the KBD file. I use the following, but you can
name them anything you like other than CAPS, SHIFT, ALT and CTRL:

KAPS=58,T:C
SHFT=42,54
XALT=56,98
CNTL=29,99

Another thing is to start the key assignment with good old func NI.
