I must be doing something stupid, because if this were a real problem it would surely be in the FAQ: Sun's Cut, Copy, and Paste keys can be emulated with the key combinations Meta-x, Meta-c, and Meta-v. When running an X server such as Xoftware on PC hardware one uses Alt-x, Alt-c, and Alt-v instead. These mappings work when using VNC, but only for *some* Solaris applications. That is, I can run vncviewer from a Solaris box and use the Meta key combinations, or run vncviewer from a Wintel box (NT or 98) and use the Alt key combinations, and achieve the Cut, Copy, Paste function in, for example, OpenWindows Textedit. However these same combinations fail in, for example, OpenWindows Mailtool compose windows (a bare x, c, or v is inserted instead). To reiterate, when working directly (not through VNC) the Meta key combinations work in all programs, as do the Alt key combinations when working from a Wintel box using Xoftware. What is different about the way VNC handles the Alt or Meta key (either server-side or client-side), and how do I get it to stop? -- Mark Jackson - http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~mjackson Physics is like sex.
