Yes, I think so.  Or maybe even in kbd_buffer_get_event, which
dequeues events and calls make_lispy_event.  But please wait for
Richard to confirm, I still don't feel myself at home in that maze
full of misty passages called keyboard.c ;-)

modifiers are concerned?  Perhaps if you ask specific questions, they
can be answered one by one.
