if you haven't made many modifications yourself, it can be easier to
work from the template in the source code:

   http://subversion.ardour.org/svn/ardour2/branches/2.0-ongoing/gtk2_ardour/mnemonic-us.bindings.in

this is arrange in keyboard-layout order rather than semi-randomly.

you need to know that on linux, the modifiers are:

PRIMARY=ctl
SECONDARY=alt
TERTIARY=shift
LEVEL4=mod4
