For example, I see there looks to be an entry for C-M-SPC:
                   (7 32 [?\C-\M-\s])
And my wild speculation from looking at the example table "Other
modified-key escapes" on
https://invisible-island.net/xterm/modified-keys-us-pc105.html is that
emacs would need an entry like:
                   (3 32 [?\M-\s])
to handle the modifyOtherKeys encoding of "\E[27;3;32~" for M-SPC, but also
that there are probably many many other sequences that aren't being handled.

Cheers,
Len.
