Correction: The evidence can be seen in the kdb_keyboard.c file
in the function kdb_get_kbd_char which gets the scan codes from the keyboard.
The conversion between the up and down arrow scan codes to the 16 and 14 values
is at lines 138 until 141.

I am thinking maybe a good solution for this confusing passing of magics
is to export the magics to macro definitions,
or maybe to make the keyboard flow also actually use CTRL chords?

Thanks,
