It doesn't matter, but that is not the use case I have in mind. (And I already
do that.)
My question is about determining whether it is likely that a user is in console
mode, and consequently (probably) will not be able to simply hold down, say,
C-M-S-insert, to repeat the command bound to it. If that is likely, it is also
likely that the same thing will hold for `C-S-l', `C-M-TAB', and so on. Likely,
that's all.
(This is not about how a console user can fake the use of modifiers or remap
keys a la modmap or anything else along similar lines.)
From what I gather, the answer is still that `window-system' is about as good as
it gets, for this heuristic test. And that's what Emacs itself seems to be using
for this, in several places.
