Did you press both keys simultaneously? TAB-down n-down n-up TAB-up
Did you list Hyper_L as a modifier?

Put something like:

clear Shift
clear Lock
clear Control
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
clear Mod3
clear Mod4
clear Mod5

! In order of bits: 
add    Shift   = Shift_L     Shift_R
add    Lock    = Caps_Lock
add    Control = Control_L   Control_R
add    Mod1    = Alt_L       Alt_R
add    Mod2    = Num_Lock
add    Mod3    = Super_L     Super_R
add    Mod4    = Meta_L      Meta_R
add    Mod5    = Hyper_L     Hyper_R     

in your ~/.xmodmap

 Hello Pascal:

 Your instructions solved my problem. Not only that, but
 following the details of the bit setting has cleared up
 the complaints that Xemacs makes about modifiers.

 You taught me a lot.

 thanks
 tim

Problems Using Hyper Key modifier

[Tim Johnson]

Hello:

I would like to map my TAB key to the hyper key modifier.

After running the following command to map the TAB key to Hyper key:
xmodmap -e "keycode 23 = Hyper_L"

xev tells me that keycode 23 is Hyper_L, but
<blush> I find that that c-h k <ret>
TAB-n only recognizes the "n". 

The TAB=>Hyper_L key is not recognized as a modifier

What else do I need to do? 

NOTE: There are many examples found by Google that show how to map
caps_lock to hyper, but I have already successfully mapped caps_lock to
control_L.

Also, attempts to map control_r (keycode 109) to Hyper_R fail
as well.

TIA
tim
