Yes, it's Alt.

I don't have any windows keys on my keyboard (it's a very old compaq
board from around the time of the switch from DEC) but just to see if
you were right, I mapped the End key to Mod3. It worked fine even with
the Caps_Lock key mapped to another Control. It was awkward pressing
(the physical) End-Caps_Lock-p key combination to get the program menu
but it still worked.

Also, the bindings in my shell aren't set to use Ctrl-e to get to the
end of the line, so I ran bash and tried it (still using the Caps_lock
key as Control) and not to my surprise, it worked.

I'm not sure why you're having problems. Are you using a different
keyboard layout? German, perhaps?
