If a key would be unbound on a tty, this could help to exclude it
from the preferred keybindings.  For example, if C-/ was unbound
depending on a tty type, then this would fall back to 'C-x u':

  (put 'undo :advertised-binding '([?\C-/] [?\C-x ?u]))

But otherwise, could you formulate a clear criteria for excluding
some keys from the set of preferred keys?  Do you know how to
query the current keyboard layout, or to find the preferred modifiers?
