Re: Meta and Super on the Mac under X11 (XQuartz)

you know what to set in order to get Hyper and Super keys, but without
doing something that hoses up other stuff on the Mac?
Not sure what you mean, but in any case, the most common problem on
Macs is the mapping of Meta which clashes with Mac's use of
Cmd. That's what I have right now:
didier(s001)% cat ~/.Xmodmap
! Darwin: switch Cmd and Alt keys.
clear mod1
clear mod2
keycode 66 = Meta_L
keycode 69 = Meta_R
keycode 63 = Mode_switch
keycode 71 = Mode_switch
add mod1 = Meta_L
add mod1 = Meta_R
add mod2 = Mode_switch
BTW, on the Mac side I also have my keyboard Preference configured
in
the Modifier Keys section to map Caps Lock to Control (WHERE *GOD SAID*
IT SHOULD BE!! :-) ) and Control to No Action. Any emacer is using the
Control key constantly, and I hate having to fish for the second of four
buttons not in convenient reach on the bottom row. (I even tried to
force myself to learn for a couple of weeks a few years ago, but
couldn't do it.)
It's been a while since I didn't encounter a keyboard with CTRL on the
middle row... probably 15 years ago on a Spark station.
