Should there perhaps be a policy about how modifiers keys are mapped in console and X applications? For example, on the console, alt produces an esc prefix, which is IMO good and makes alt equivalent to a meta key. However, under X, meta is usually the windows key, which is a nuisance if one often changes between console and X.
Moreover, because X programs can treat modifiers in two ways - the simple one, using modifier number, and the complex one, mapping mod numbers to keycodes and then using those - there probably should be some consistent policy of which mod number is mapped onto which modifier etc. Panu Kalliokoski
