How does one customize the keyboard (including keypad) in MG? How does one change the key bindings for control and meta keys also? I've seen these questions asked before, but have never seen the answers.

You don't - all you can customize is the key bindings, which tie
character sequence to commands. And prefix keys are wired down as to
which command map they point to for interpreting the following keys.
Mg uses the default Amiga keymap, so you may be able to play games
with that.

Huh? Those are shift keys. They don't get bound at all. The Escape key
as a prefix gets you the same keymap as the meta shift key. But you
can't change bindings to keymaps (that's on the list of things to be
fixed before mg3a stops being "beta").

Well, as expressed, the question has no answer, because what you want
can't be done.
