I think "trans_mapping_chras_at" is that table. It's used by 
"__direct_check_extened_keystroke_at" on the scan code. But it does seem (at 
first glance) to be more complicated than it needs to be and hard to follow.

(and btw, the spelling of the symbols is correct.)

And what encoding for the extended keys should be used? The one used by Bash 
has been in use for a while now. Should we use it or design a new one?
