In general it is a bad idea to map any printable character or combining
character or dead key with the CTRL or CTRL+SHIFT modifiers associated to
any position in the alphanumerica part of the keyboard: this should remain
reserved to map function keys or C0/C1 controls only, that local
applications will use to assign them application-specific application
functions.
