The Meta, Mode_switch etc. are just names for the keys; the key labled 'q' is named 'q', the key labled ',' is named 'comma'. The Meta_L and Meta_R are the keys on my keyboard that had the wintendo- logo on them (I've put stickers on) and the Menu key had the menu-and-pointer on it. > This is a good idea.

(With a salesmans voice:-) This way I dont really need to bind those functions th the F-keys, I use almost only win-letter as I find that more convinient to type, and I can keep my fingers in touch posision (not beeing good at typing I need that even more). > If the swedish keyb. is similar to the italian one, you have a > "Alt-Gr" key on the right side, don't you?

How did you do this? I selected swedish keyboard-layout when the installation program asked me what kind of keyboard I have. Unless you have a fairly good idea of what you're doing I'd advice against selecting a keyboard-layout that differs from your keyboard. (Remembering the bad old dos days, and the frustration when your bootdisk didn't have the file...) Have a look in the /usr/doc/kbd directory, there might be something helpful there. -- Ulrik Haugen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "I contend that we are both atheists.
