Looks like that if KS_Alt_* are used they just set the high bit on
characters. Making the alt key generate KS_Mode_switch seems to work
right.

Actually, to follow what ite was doing, alt keys should generate
KS_Mode_switch and amiga keys KS_Alt_L and KS_Alt_R.

Also, I don't think the KS_Multi_key should be generated from
shifted alt. (Multi_key, when pressed, waits for two more keys
and composes them.) Having it on shifted alt has funny effect,
depending on the order you press down shift and alt, you get
either compose or shift+alt effect.
