This seems to be one way of doing it:

1) start the xev program from a terminal

2) press the relevant key and note the "keysym" code in the
   terminal's output. For the left "windows key", it is
   "0xffeb" on my system.
   
3) to use this key in e.g. text_mode, insert the following
   lines in your ~/.jedrc:

   define text_mode_hook ()
   {
   #ifdef XWINDOWS
     x_set_keysym (0xFFEB, 0, "^XX");
   #endif
   
     if (is_defined ("x_server_vendor"))
     {
       local_setkey ("my_slang_func", "^XX");
     }    
   }
   
Then pressing the left windows key in xjed will run
"my_slang_func"

If you simply want to reassign a function to your key that is
already associated with the "^XX" key combo, then you may of
course skip the local_setkey () part.
