Actually, I just figured this out -- the comment for mappedkeys explains
this, but if you haven't read the comments in keysymdef.h
(
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/x11proto/plain/keysymdef.h), I
think it's not obvious what it means. It reads "If you want keys other
than the X11 function keys [...]." In this context, "function keys" does
NOT refer to F1, F2, F3, etc. or functions in the shortcuts array. The
solution to this was to simply add the number keys to mappedkeys:
static KeySym mappedkeys[] = { XK_1, XK_2, XK_3, XK_4 };
