Very good detective work (although you should point to the 4.2
documentation, which is basically the same).

What I would like (but I have not understood yet where to do that) is to
use reject() only when we have an unknown keysym. We should not reject
events because M-C-j is not bound currently, but because a given
multimedia key is not handled by LyX (i.e. for example because
qkey_to_string returns an empty string).

Do you see what I mean? Could you have a go at it?
