+! now for what had me so long baffled. any keycode can generate eight keysyms,
+! but only the first four are used. and the way to index into them is by using
+! Shift and Mode_switch. my keyboard had no Mode_switch, so I am using that
+! bloody Windoze key:
+!
+
+! now we assign the Mode_switch keysym to both Windoze keys
+keycode 0x73 = Mode_switch
+keycode 0x74 = Mode_switch
+!right alt on lapse
+keycode 0x71 = Mode_switch
+
+! ... and tell the Mode_switch keysym to generate the mod4 modifier.
+clear Mod5
+add Mod5     = Mode_switch
+
+! assign Super_R to the Menu key
+keycode 0x75 = Super_R
+!right control on lapse
+keycode 0x6d = Super_R
+
+! ... and make it generate the mod3 modifier
+clear Mod3
+add Mod3     = Super_R
+
+!
+! and now all we need to do is add what we would like to the keys.
+! if this approach doesn't work, you'll need to go via keycodes, e.g.:
+!
+!   keycode 0x26 = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis
+!
+! however, you'll have to check which keycode is generated by which keypress.
+! use xev(1) for that.
