That doesn't show anything if you just press a shift key, and pressing Pause/Break seems to freeze it. But I think I now have the answer: xev (an X program). That one shows each time you press a key -- any key -- and each time you release it. Works for all the shifts too. The one odd exception: the Pause/Break key shows an immediate release even if you're holding it down, and doesn't indicate the actual moment of release. Paul
