    As far as I understand those selectors work, using shift as the level 3 modifier is a bad idea since …

    level combination
    1 key
    2 SHIFT + key
    3 L3 + key
    4 SHIFT + L3 + key
    5 L5 + key
    6 L5 + SHIFT + key

    I suppose customizing the keyboard layout such that SHIFT can be used as L3 modifier can be done. Otherwise, you might want to refer to /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst.

    Here’s the relevant part(s):
