What I'm implementing is a braille keyboard on a standard PC keyboard.

Thus, since it means pressing chords of keys, I'm interested in
KeyRelease events. However, I'd prefer letting the user choose which
keys should produce braille simply via the keycode/keysym conversion
(and on the long run provide an xkb option for this).
