Normally, one depresses shift and Alt, or shift and Control, or shift and anything at the same time. The only place I have ever encountered pressing some modifier key, then releasing it before typing the other keys (to the extent of my memory), is Alt-SysRq+reisub, but I seem to recall that that got changed a while back in how the key combination works, as I now type Alt-SysRq, then I release SysRq but continue holding down the Alt while I type reisub. If I am not mistaken, the old way required you to have 3 hands, as you had to hold both Alt and SysRq down while typing reisub. (But, as for what) Ben Boeckel wrote: > The dead keys throw people off. Well, that is simply not true. All over the world, diacritical marks are expected to be dead keys, or they wouldn't work.
