I mean the data types KyeSym and KeyCode, not the key symbols
themselves.

Which man page?

Sorry to disappoit you ;-) If you want to debug this, you should
start in the files fvwm/bindings.c and libs/Bindings.c. There, the
original binding command is processed (starting with Cmd_Key).
If that works fine, the code handling key presses is in
fvwm/events.c, HandleKeyPress().
