Thanks for all the help, everyone. I discovered that on my machine,
Super_L is already bound to mod4 ('xmodmap -pm' revealed). When I
had it bound to mod3 (and then to mod2), still only the mod4 binding
worked. Does the last mod bound to a key get precedence?
Needless to say everything's working now, and I have a new set of
diagonal-up left and right keys!
