*this* ??? I'm sorry, but the symbols map shipped with does not allow
neither VT swicthin nor use of Alt+Shift and Shift+Alt.

This minor changes allow VT switching and Shift+Alt. This is
important. If you know how to synchronise each pair of right and left
key, the keymap will be very near from complete.
