True but xev (x events) shows them redefined and sending state
information (downkey and upkey). I think those are the only two states
on any mod key.

Sorry. All I did was read the ergoemacs feature list and saw the
creative commons link at the bottom of the page (referring to the page
itself). I didn't actually download ergoemacs and install it. Keytweak
does the part of AutoHotKey that I'm interested in (substitution in w32
registry). Most of the rest Emacs can do already and I don't want to
introduce gratuitous complexity into an area where my understanding is
already fragile.

On my specific problem, I studied this until I was dizzy and tried
various combo with xmodmap but with no luck:
