Have you tried this on a terminal?  My understanding is that it just won't work on most terminals, but it's been a long time (~15 years) since I actually looked.  

At the time, it seemed like letter-based modifiers were routinely unclean. There were some combinations that were workable, but they depended on the keyboard layout (basically, you take advantage of the qwerty pretzel-combos).  The spacebar is a pretty solid potential modifier, because almost everyone hits it with their thumb, but there's some annoying IP in this area.

Hope that helps,
*Chad
