Yes, I found it there, but I was talking about finding it in Emacs.

I haven't tried your code yet, but looking at it I'm wondering: how do you
type in H-C-x (assuming you don't have a Hyper modifier on your keyboard)?

IIUC after you hit C-x ESC h, the call to read-key-sequence will not let you
hit just C-x (because it's a prefix key).

OTOH Emacs's version doesn't allow you to cumulate the sticky modifiers, as
in C-x @ c C-x @ m \ which IIUC your version allows.
