Now, this is truly odd. 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.

Well, that is simply not true. All over the world, diacritical marks are expected to
be dead keys, or they wouldn't work.
