Sending Super/Meta4 Shifted Events

I have been struggling with sending events that are combinations with 
the Super/Meta4/"Windows" key.  My syntax is

[...]
   begin
       remote = rm1000w
       button = prev
       repeat = 0
       config = Key mod4-comma CurrentWindow
   end
[...]

but I've tried Super_L- and meta4- as well.  Is there a way to cause 
this shifting?  I am using a window manager with bindings that are all 
in combination with the Super key (to avoid any possible collisions), 
and I would like to use these shortcuts with my remote.  Is there some 
way to send a key down event for the Super_L (or _R), the key, then the 
key up event as a workaround?

That is not correct lircrc syntax.  You need to have a "prog = <foo>"
entry to specify what program lirc passes the config string to.  Look
at http://lirc.org/html/configure.html#lircrc_format

I believe you can do what you are trying to with irxevent.  Look at its
manpage.

look at
http://howto.gp.mines.edu/local-apps/lirc-0.7.1/doc/irxevent.keys as
well as /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, there is a list of valid lirc
keys. I see Meta_L and Meta_R, don't think mod4 is a valid descriptor.

The documentation seems to imply that mod(3|4)- and meta- should work :
In BNF this looks like:

LINE    = "config =" <KEY|BUTTON|XYKEY> <TARGET> |
          "config =" <KEY|BUTTON|XYKEY> "Focus" <TARGET>
XYKEY   = "xy_Key" <x_position> <y_position> <MOD><KEYSPEC>
KEY     = "Key" <MOD><KEYSPEC>
MOD     = ["shift-"]["numlock-"]["ctrl-"]["alt-"]["meta-"]
          ["numlock-"]["mod3-"]["mod4-"]["scrlock-"]
KEYSPEC = Keyname | "KeySym:"KeySym | "KeyCode:"KeyCode
BUTTON  = "Button" <1..5> <x_position> <y_position>
