As x11 considers num lock and scroll lock to be modifiers, code that
checks for an exact modifier combination will fail if naively done when
num lock or scroll lock are turned on. Applications that want to ignore
these modifiers will need to use XKB to manually mask out the modifier
state.
As it is very unlikely that applications will want to care about the
state of num lock or scroll lock for key press/key release events, mask
out the num lock and scroll lock keys automatically.
