- It isn't Alt-i, it is Meta-i or more precisely mod1-i. Use xmodmap -pm
- to get a list of your modifiers. If indeed you don't have the ability
- to generate M-i then you can redefine the translations for the text
- widget in your xdefaults, here is an example of how it is done:
-
- *Text.translations: #override \
- <Key>L10: kill-selection()\n\
- <Key>L9: search(forward) next-page()\n\
- <Key>L8: insert-selection(CUT_BUFFER1,PRIMARY)\n\
- <Key>R9: previous-page()\n\
- <Key>R15: next-page()\n\
- <Key>R7: beginning-of-file()\n\
- <Key>R13: end-of-file()\n
-
- These are translations for a sun4 keyboard. In your case you should use
- an action of insert-file()
