On the subject of S-SPC - I configured my terminal emulator to emit
"\e[27;2;32~" (the same escape sequence that xterm emits in some mode),
and added this to my init.el:

(define-key input-decode-map "^[[27;2;32~" (kbd "S-SPC"))

And it "works" (I don't get escape sequence junk when I type it), but
"doesn't work" in that all it ever seems to do is insert space, and
C-h k thinks I've typed SPC with no hint of it being translated from
anything else.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Mine look like this:

    (define-key input-decode-map [?\u0110] [C-0])

and yes, it should say it is translated:

    <C-0> (translated from ...) is undefined

I once wrote a tutorial how to do this in the ttys:

    http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/tty-emacs-keys.txt

but with xterm I don't know.

Either it is a notational issue - try something else
(something simpler), just to see if the translation
stuff works - either that, or it is something else.

Yes, but like you said in your tutorial, that's an arbitrary name. It's
not the real C-0, that'd be [?\C-0] == [#x4000030].

I found my issue, though. I'd been _assuming_ that Gnus sets a binding
for S-SPC to gnus-summary-prev-page/gnus-article-goto-prev-page, when in
reality it apparently doesn't. If I set a global binding on [?\S-\ ], it
works (fsvo. "works" - now I need to figure out how to add a binding to
Gnus for it.)

It is a bit annoying that I don't get the "translated from" notation in
C-h k, though. Led me down a bit of a false path in determining what the
problem was.

Yeah, no, that was just an example, so it is even more
arbitrary. I mean the unicode notation what the
virtual terminal is sending (in this case [?\u0110])
looks much simpler than what you had, so perhaps there
was an issue of notation where some char got out of
place compared to how it looked with xterm.

Aha, cool.

Have you bound S-SPC to a command?  If not, then Emacs will
automatically try to strip the shift modifier to find a valid command.
