Use the X-INIT installer to remove the x-init from your system folder. Then,
use ResEdit to open the X-INIT installer program. Open INIT#999 and change
the byte at $00030. Its initial value should be $0003.  Set it to
	$0000 for X-init to work with the Command key
	$0001 				  Shift key
	$0002				  CapsLock key

Close, saving changes, and quit.  Then use the modified Installer to put
X-INIT back into your system.

N.B. For the particular use you requested (to work in conjunction with
multifinder supression, without deleterious side effects), you'll need to
set it to $0000, Command key. This is because MF checks if the command
key AND ONLY THE COMMAND KEY is depressed during booting. So setting X-INIT
to Shift and holding Cmd-Shift will suppress your INITs but not the booting
of Multifinder.

The word at position $00030 is the bit-number (mod 8) of the high-byte of
an event record's modifiers flags. These bitfields are described in IM I-252.

Disclaimer: I didn't write X-INIT, I just wish I had.
