Hi, I recently installed RH 7.0 and XEmacs 21.1.12. I have a Microsoft
Natural Keyboard and used xkeycaps and xmodmap to flip Caps-Lock and
Ctrl key around. Whenever I start XEmacs, I get the following warnings
I used the same .xmodmap file in RH 6.2 but didn't get any warning. Do
I need to customise anything
(1) (key-mapping/warning)
The meanings of the modifier bits Mod1 through Mod5 are determined
by the keysyms used to control those bits. Mod1 does NOT always
mean Meta, although some non-ICCCM-compliant programs assume that.
(2) (key-mapping/warning)
Two distinct modifier keys (such as Meta and Hyper) cannot generate
the same modifier bit, because Emacs won't be able to tell which
modifier was actually held down when some other key is pressed. It
won't be able to tell Meta-x and Hyper-x apart, for example. Change
one of these keys to use some other modifier bit. If you intend for
these keys to have the same behavior, then change them to have the
same keysym as well as the same modifier bit.
(3) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs: Meta_R (0x74) generates Mod4, which is generated by
Alt.
(4) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs: Meta_L (0x73) generates Mod4, which is generated by
Alt.
(5) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs: Alt_L (0x40) generates both Mod1 and Mod4, which is
nonsensical.
Regards, Yusuf
