- I do this in .xinitrc:
- if ($Architecture == "RsArchitecture") then
- # Fix the meta key for xmh.
- xmodmap -e "keycode 68 = Meta_L Alt_L"
- endif
-
- The Architecture variable is set to whatever I am running on. The problem (as I
- recall) is that the left-hand Alt key sends out "Alt_L", but not "Meta_L".
