Re: xmodmap, Caps Lock, super hyper

Uwe Brauer writes: No, that won't work. It might be easier to do all this with setxkbmap. See if setxkbmap -option caps:hyper does what you want. If not, the theory is that you need to also change the modifier mapping. What does "xmodmap -pm" say in the default Kubuntu configuration? For example, on my Mac I get MacPorts 13:40$ xmodmap -pm xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x40), Shift_R (0x44) lock Caps_Lock (0x41) control Control_L (0x43), Control_R (0x46) mod1 Mode_switch (0x42), Mode_switch (0x45) mod2 Meta_L (0x3f), Meta_R (0x47) mod3 mod4 mod5 Note: no Super_*, no Hyper_*. Even if I define a Super_L and a Hyper_L, there will be no Super key or Hyper key unless a modifier bit is assigned to that key. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to ensure that software will recognize a given modifier bit as a given modifier key. XEmacs does this correctly (it parses the modifier map), but many apps assume a particular modifier to key mapping. As a last resort, you could try xkeycaps (there should be an Ubuntu package for it, if not, a source build shouldn't be that hard).[1] For keyboards it knows about, it knows how to do all this stuff correctly. Jamie says it's "obsolete", but apparently not for Kubuntu. ;-) Footnotes: [1] http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/ _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
