Yes. Try again after applying this patch (and restarting X).

You could also just supply the key-sequence for this directly:

```
$ xdotool key Ctrl+Alt+F11
```

Yes, with:

Don't ask me why all the other keysyms just above have the extra
`_'.  Going by the dates on that XKeysymDB file, it's rather old,
and things may have changed since then. I also can't find that file
in the tarballs in: https://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/, but,
I didn't search very hard--you should ask on the tech-x11 ML.
