Don't know for sure if this is possible, but i suspect
that those keys would be in a keyboard class of something
like "Modifier" keys, that you will need a combination
of Modifier+Non-Modifier key(s) to complete a keybinding.

So, something like :

<LeftShift>+<RightShift>+<Space>

might do it (with the extra non-modifier Space key)

Otherwise, i bet there'd be a way to take one of your
shift keys and change its class from Modifier to non
thereby allowing the binding.

(i'm pulling this all out of my nether regions, but hey
it *sounds* good ;) )


I'm at home on a KDE3 system, but...

% kcmshell keys

there's a "Modifiers" [Tab].

If you look there, you see "Shift" is a modifier and down below
shift is assigned with Key1 = LeftShift, Key2= RightShift.

Give that a whirl.  If on KDE4, i suspect it'll be the same
(too lazy to login to my KDE4 system), and try:

%kcmshell4 keys

which probably will look the same.
