I think we should get keycode directly from /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, so 
that we would be more standard and compatible. So we would have XK_XXX 
defined and usable. Any idea to do it by a simple way ?

No, I have 

variable Key_Ctrl_Shift_Left  = "\xCSLeft";

in my real code, so that it doesn't interfere with control, but this is ugly 
and just for quick testing purposes, it is completely nonstandard.

I don't know, I'll check it.
