Shift-Insert works external Keyboard but not laptop
Pressing Shift-Insert behaves different from Keyboard-Ext and Keyboard Laptop.
Where Laptop does not work but external keyboard does.
Both are equally mapped:
state 0x10, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L)
state 0x10, keycode 118 (keysym 0xff63, Insert)
How can I debug it further?

Re: Shift-Insert works external Keyboard but not laptop
Shift+Ins should be on state 0x11
Please post the actual, complete output of "xev -event keyboard" when pressing either shortcut (ie. the keys in combination, not isolated)
Possible causes are
- the internal keyboard wires the 2nd level of Ins to something entirely different
- you're using different layouts for the keyboards (eg. if you change the layout after the login w/ setxkbmap and attach the external keyboard only later)

Re: Shift-Insert works external Keyboard but not laptop
Solved!
Pressing both I was getting another keycode which I had to set again with xmodmap.
xmodmap -e 'keycode 76 = Insert Insert'
Question keycodes were single keys pressed and not combination of both.
