			[[X11]] has eight bucky bits: Shift, Lock, Control, Mod1, Mod2, Mod3, Mod4, and Mod5.

			On [[Incompatible Timesharing System\|ITS]], a character read from a terminal open in %TOFCI mode has four bucky bits: control, meta, super, and top. The closely related [[SUPDUP]] protocol has a subset: the super bit is not included.
