I don't really remember the details, but here is a diff of the changes I made.
my_keys.bak is the default keymap file on my Debian sid system (what it was a
year ago, anyway). my_keys is the file I use now.

Most of the changes I made were what was needed in order to get M-<punctuation>
bindings working, like M-< and M-!. But maybe the examples will still help.
