I already did the equivalent of all that using xmodmap and xev. See
earlier posts. Furthermore, the request was for a way to do it for all
input from the keyboard, not just a specific terminal session.
Thanks all the same.

I do not believe you can do it for all input from the KB because
the KB is somewhat virtualized under , whereas keyboard of /dev/tty is still
under the control of the keymaps, which is modifiable via loadkeys.
I already posted another reply with .Xdefaults translations for X
managed terminals.
