I do not remember the details anymore, but I am 99% certain
that it modifies, in particular, the behaviour of the
numeric keypad, which is definitely not something I would
want to do.

Looking back at my older versions of EW, it seems to have
been introduced in EW 6.05+, from 1999.

I do remember taking up the matter of some strange behaviour
of the numeric keypad with Mike Glover, who told me that it
was the UKey module and also told me how to stop it
happening - ie not loading it in the first place.

Fair enough, I was simply curious. Not having access to it
is no hardship!  I think that the only Ctrl+Shift+keypress I
actually ever use is with F12 to shut a machine down.
