In particular I see C-h l says I hit a "s-u" which I don't know means
what key. C-h b shows no "s-" keys too.
From the Keys node of the Emacs Manual:
| Kinds of User Input
| ===================
...
| Some terminals have a <META> key, and allow you to type Meta
| characters by holding this key down. Thus, `Meta-a' is typed by
| holding down <META> and pressing `a'. The <META> key works much like
| the <SHIFT> key. Such a key is not always labeled <META>, however, as
| this function is often a special option for a key with some other
| primary purpose. Sometimes it is labeled <ALT> or <EDIT>; on a Sun
| keyboard, it may have a diamond on it.
...
| The X Window System provides several other modifier keys that can be
| applied to any input character. These are called <SUPER>, <HYPER> and
| <ALT>. We write `s-', `H-' and `A-' to say that a character uses these
| modifiers. Thus, `s-H-C-x' is short for `Super-Hyper-Control-x'. Not
| all X terminals actually provide keys for these modifier flags--in
| fact, many terminals have a key labeled <ALT> which is really a <META>
| key. The standard key bindings of Emacs do not include any characters
| with these modifiers. But you can assign them meanings of your own by
| customizing Emacs.
