3 means both left and right shift, and is probably set because the
Eiffel generates shift+up/down for page up/down, and shift+home for end.

What docs say that? That the state of these keys are returned by Kbshift
is not the same as the keys being modifiers. My guess is that this is
related to the use of these as "mouse buttons".
