When the window will appear, click first in the xterm
and then in the window (the square in the blank window).
You can then start to press Meta keys: "Windows",
Alt, AltGr, arrows, home, end, page up, page down...
so that we can generate the xmodmap rules.
Press any key to start. Kill the xev window when done.
