I can't offer LK401 specifics, but just in case it helps, you can find
the complete LK201 description in the PRO 300 series technical
manual. An online copy lives in
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp11/EK-PC300-V1-001_pro300tecV1.pdf
or ...V2.pdf. I don't remember which of the two volumes has this.
Looking at some old code of mine, it looks like the LK201 indeed has
just one code for the shift keys, so that particular question won't be
answered this way, but it may still be useful to give you background
data about the protocol.
