This protocol supports four modifier keys, :kbd:`shift, alt, ctrl and super`.
Here super is either the *Windows/Linux* key or the *Cmd* key on mac keyboards.
Modifiers are encoded as a bit field with::
This protocol supports six modifier keys, :kbd:`shift, alt, ctrl, super, hyper
and meta`. Here :kbd:`super` is either the *Windows/Linux* key or the *Cmd* key on
mac keyboards. :kbd:`hyper` and :kbd:`meta` are typically present only on X11
based systems with special XKB rules. Modifiers are encoded as a bit field with::
shift 0b1 (1)
alt 0b10 (2)
ctrl 0b100 (4)
super 0b1000 (8)
hyper 0b10000 (16)
meta 0b100000 (32)
In the escape code, the modifier value is encoded as a decimal number which is
``1 + actual modifiers``. So to represent :kbd:`shift` only, the value would be ``1 +
