Here is a demonstration on the F1 key.  See "Translation Table Syntax",
Appendix B of the X Toolkit Intrinsics documentation.

xterm*VT100.translations: #override\n\
        !Shift Ctrl <Key>F1:    string("Shift-Ctrl ")\n\
        !Shift Meta <Key>F1:    string("Shift-Meta ")\n\
        !Ctrl<Key>F1:   string("Ctrl ")\n\
        !Shift<Key>F1:  string("Shift ")\n\
        !Meta<Key>F1:   string("Meta ")\n\
        None<Key>F1:    string("no modifiers ")\n\
        <Key>F1:        string("don't care about modifiers ")\n
