Maybe I don't understand what kind of recipe you are looking for.
I thought you were asking how to synthesize those "magic numbers"
given the key description such as "C-M-f". That is what I tried to
explain: if you display the number 134217734 in hex you will see
#x8000006, which is C-f (ASCII 6) with the Meta bit ORed.

I'm dumb, I don't think I see the difference.

I think I explained exactly what you want: how to get the numerical
value corresponding to C-M-f and any other key that includes modifiers.
If that still doesn't help you, then I'm sorry; someone else will have
to do better.
