 DESCRIPTION:
     Use  'kk' to determine the keysym for a specific key.  After a 'kk' is
     executed  the  keysym  name corresponding to the next key  pressed  is
     displayed  in  ce's output window.  The 'kd' (key definition)  command
     requires  a  keysym  to  bind a definition to a specific  key  or  key
     combination.

     Keysym  names  are  case sensitive; if kk displays  'Return'  for  the
     Function 1 key, kd will understand 'Return' but not 'return'.
     
     If  you need to find the keysym related to a modified key (that is,  a
     key  that  is pressed simultaneously with some combination of  Control
     Shift,  Mod1,  Mod2,  Mod3,  and  Mod4), you will  need  to  stack  kk
     commands.   Entering  'kk;kk' as a Ce command will display the  Keysym
     names  of the next two keys pressed.  If the first key you press is  a
     modifier  key  such as Shift, you will first get the name of that  key
     (Shift_L). If you continue to hold that key down and press another key
     such  as  F1, the name of the key with the correct modifiers  will  be
     displayed (F1S). Ctrl F1 Shifted would be displayed.

     Stacking  'kk' commands to determine the modified name of a key can be
     important on some machines.  For example:  On some HP/UX machines, the
     alt  of the name maps to a different name than the shift, control,  or
     unmodified key.  The name of the <Alt>-h key is *yen.
     
     On  Sun keyboards, the key with the "Props" keycap is defined as  'kk'
     and the shift of this key is defined as 'kk;kk'.

     The 'kd' help file, referenced  below,  contains  complete  information
     about the use of combinations of key modifiers. 
     
     NOTE:   The  window  manager that you use (OSF/Motif, Open Window, ...)
     can reserve  certain  keys  which  are  then  unavailable  for  use  by
     applications  such as ce.  If you find that one of your key definitions
     is  not  functioning  as  expected,   consult   your   window   manager
     documentation  to  see  if  you  are  using  such a reserved key or key
     combination. 

     MINOR  NOTE:   If the environment variable CE_FULL_KK is set,  kk  will
     display  the  hardware keycode and the default es string following  the
     keysym.  In the 'Command:' window execute:  env CE_FULL_KK=1
