Maybe the foult is on both sides. As ISO_Left_Tab sends 0cFE20, calling

  x_set_keysym (0xFF09, '$', Key_Shift_Tab);  %  (reverse tab)

will obviously not work. 

However, none of

  x_set_keysym (0xFE20, '$', Key_Shift_Tab);
and  
  x_set_keysym (0xFE20, 0, Key_Shift_Tab);

will make <Shift_Tab> send any string to xjed :-(

Another question for me is, whether xjed will react on keypresses, also if
not receiving a keystring at the same time. <Shift_Tab> does not send a
string, whereas <Tab> does. ... at least when I check with ^V <Key> under
rxvt or with xkeycaps. Function keys send a string under rxvt but don't show
an ASCII value attached under xkeycaps.
