Indeed. Lots of little knobs to turn. But how is an ordinary mortal supposed to understand it. For the modifier Mod1, Pk reports the keys: mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd) So, I know I have an Alt_L key, and an Alt_R key, but what's this Meta_L key? Didn't know I had one so: me> xmodmap -pke | grep Meta_L keycode 64 = Alt_L Meta_L Alt_L Meta_L Alt_L Meta_L keycode 205 = NoSymbol Meta_L NoSymbol Meta_L NoSymbol Meta_L Nice, looks like I have at least 2 Meta_L keys, but only when I use a modifier. >> To discuss, send replies to Fvwm.org.

But of course, everything is better on list. We have an audience to correct our mistakes... Email clients aren't what they used to be.
