Ben> please let me know. Sun keyboards have Alt and Meta. (martin＠tru64) ~cdx/import/emacs/src $ xmodmap -pke | egrep -i 'alt|meta' keycode 26 = Alt_L keycode 127 = Meta_L keycode 129 = Meta_R Japanese Tru 64 keyboards seem to only have keys labelled Alt, not Meta, but xmodmap reports: (martin＠tru64) ~cdx/import/emacs/src $ DISPLAY=tru64:0 xmodmap -pke | egrep -i 'alt|meta' keycode 25 = Alt_L keycode 57 = Alt_R keycode 133 = Alt_L keycode 134 = Alt_R keycode 139 = Meta_L keycode 140 = Meta_R But you shouldn't have to have a database, since we have (x-keysym-on-keyboard-p "Alt_L") ==> t (x-keysym-on-keyboard-p "Meta_L") ==> t
