For that, you have the ~/.emacs file. Make "Ctrl-X S" do what you would have "Ctrl-X Ctrl-S" do. Emacs is just welfare for hand surgeons and physical therapists anyway; you wouldn't have this problem if you were using joe. Alt-Ctrl-Del or Ctrl-Alt-Del is already handled, since you don't let go of any key until the first two are pressed. Generate the synthetic key-up event for a mouse button click too.
