In the last patch prefixed keys could not contain modifiers such as
``? shift-1`` (where ``?`` is the prefix). This patch fixes it.
So now one can bind:

* C-; x -> view("x")
* C-; shift-x -> tag("x")
* C-; C-x -> toggleview("x")
* C-; C-shift-x -> toggletag("x")

for both letters and digits (where ``C-;`` is the prefix).
