Nothing special, most of them can be recognized already. Especially if
you are using an xterm. Try ":set term=xterm" and then ":set termcap".
The entries which contain ";*" recognize modifier keys. For other
terminals you will need to add the termcap entries somehow.

Alt-letter is supposed to work to get the letter with the 8th bit set.
Then converted to whatever encoding you are using. This is how vi
traditionally works, in combination with traditional terminals (and
terminal emulators).
Also note that things like <Esc>0 should never be produced by a single
key, since it should mean <Esc> (leave Insert mode), and zero (go to
first column). Relying on timing is not a good idea.

It appears you need to read :help xterm-modifier-keys
