Yes I have tested and it is working, I am able to differentiate arrow up 
and control arrow up, I have been able to confirm adding this :

keycode 103 = Up
control keycode 103 = acircumflex

I am using mutt for my email client and to scroll into my mails I am 
using up / down arrows and to scroll into my mails folder (sidebar) I am 
using ctrl up and ctrl down as it is quick to access.

Just for my information, is it a main rewrite on the program or some 
line to add to interpret the crontrol action?

I also noticed that my ^/¨ key is not working on kmscom and if I use oss 
variant it is working but not on the top of letter like â or ê, for that 
I need to do an Alt Gr + a or Alt Gr + e.
Not a big deal but for information.

Many thanks again
