Again, 'xdotool key 0xe2' works in xterm but not if
put in .xbindkeysrc and then invoked with the
keystroke. I have xbindkeys up and running and
everything else works, so I don't know why.
Here is the file:

Anyway, I managed to solve the problem another way!
First I put this in .xinitrc to make CAPS produce the
letter 'a', which I can later handle, contrary to CAPS
(?) when later telling zsh what to do with the char.
setxkbmap -option caps:none # disable caps lock
xmodmap -e 'keycode 66=a' # rebind CAPS (66)
M-a seems to (in zsh) execute a command while not
removing it (the command, i.e. its text) from the
input line. I can live without that, so I can instead
do:
bindkey -M main "\ea" enable-caps-mode
So now, yes, M-CAPS in xterm does enable-caps-mode!
Only, CAPS in X suddenly outputs an "a", but that's
OK. In the Linux VTs and in particular in Emacs I have
that something useful which isn't applicable to
X/xterm, so I won't hit it in X anyway. But the M-CAPS
enabling of caps-mode is consistent, at last...
Thank you both - interestingly, I wouldn't have had
the energy to solve it it without you making
suggestions, even tho they didn't work :) But if you
get it to work with xdotool/xbindkeys pleas tell me,
of course.
