Uhm...in my case I don't think it's the same issue. For some reason I
can't strafe backwards; this is, the combination of backpedal+strafe
works, but it doesn't get any more input, so I can't jump.
It does seem like the same issue. Snag is, shift also modifies keycodes.
The only usable modifier key is [Alt]; as an experiment, you could try
binding [Alt] to +attack ("fire" in some other engine), and activate
"always run" (+speed in the console for regular Quake; running will be on
until -speed is issued). With a couple keys bound to +strafeleft/right,
and a non-modifier key bound to "jump", the layout should allow jumping
too.
The working layout is: [Z], [X] - strafe left/right; [Alt] - +attack;
cursor arrows - move forward/backward, turn left/right; [A] - jump.
I thought
it was a limitation of my keyboard...
No, it's a limitation of either SDL, X, Linux keyboard driver, or Quake
source itself, either of which can't recognise/filter key scancodes
modified with [Control] and [Shift]. [Alt]-modified keycodes seem to be
filtered correctly though.
