[IPython-dev] available modifier keys. Broken Shift-Ins paste.

[klo uo]

Great Dmirty, I already reported the issue also on github
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/2113 but someone tagged it
as feature request instead bug

Are you saying that by commenting that line everything works as
expected and it does not affect Notebook in any way?
