Gee, I don't know. It sorta looks OK.
There are 2 tools you need to connect the dots. xev and xmodmap.
Use xev to find the scan code and keysym of the key.
You start xev, it creates a window and you type in it.
For me it prints:
KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x5800001,
root 0x26, subw 0x0, time 4132111778, (135,81), root:(1487,364),
state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x5800001,
root 0x26, subw 0x0, time 4132111899, (135,81), root:(1487,364),
state 0x40, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
This says the keycode is 115 and the keysym in Alt_L.
Then use xmodmap to find the modifier and verify the keycode.
Like this:
home> xmodmap -pm |grep Alt_L
mod4 Alt_L (0x73)
home> xmodmap -pk |grep Alt_L
115 0xffe9 (Alt_L)
Since you've moved things around, you need to look at Super_L.
