I've been playing with xmodmap to change the comma on the numpad
(Norwegian layout) to a period, as I mainly use the numpad for entering
IP addresses. According to the man page, section "Expression Grammar",
the first keysym is for the key with no modifier, and a second is for
the key with Shift as a modifier.

However, when I run 'xmodmap -e "keycode 91=period"', the key simply
"dies", it no longer outputs anything, although 'xmodmap -pk' lists it
as set to "period". If I run 'xmodmap -e "keycode 91=period period"',
it works just fine (although it also sets it with Shift, but I don't
mind that).

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I just change the keysym to be sent
without a modifier?
