I'm trying to imitate the setup I had on OS X (via Karabiner): Pressing the left Shift on its own key inserts a left parenthesis(, but holding it down and pressing another key acts as a normal Shift key (and similarly with the right Shift & right )). Is this possible with xkb?

Use xkb to make shift insert parenthesis
