key-binding

So im trying to creating a combination of keys to generate the ISO key for Portuguese layout, the key in question is the <>, pressing it normally will generate the '<' character, pressing + shift will generate the ' > ' character. So i'm trying to create a combination while using xmodmap, and i want this to work for all programs.I've been searching on Google and came up with this example for Control + P = Up: Control + p = Up arrow example

The example for that behaviour is:

xmodmap -e "keycode 33 = p P Up"

keycode 33 matches the p key, so where does control comes up in that command?
