- I do something similar in my .xsession. A little-known fact is that
- you can make META keys work in an MIT xterm using:
-
- xmodmap - <<'EOF'
- keysym Alt_L = Meta_L
- keysym Alt_R = Meta_R
- clear lock
- remove control = Execute
- add control = Caps_Lock
- EOF
-
- Since there is no excuse for a Caps_Lock key on a UNIX system in the
- first place, it doesn't bother me a bit that I don't have one now.
- Now the next trick would be to turn my Execute (aka Control_R) key
- into a compose-character key...
