Xmodmap does not work without X, at least I suppose that is what the X
stands for =)
If someone knows how to remap outside of X please let me know.
Since I use emacs not in X in my phone, my workaround is to create a
hyper key in another place (F6 is a good place for the keyboard of
JuiceSSH in Android). It is not really a modifier, so to press 'H-j',
you actually do 'F6 j', that is 'F6' followed by 'j', but I guess that
is as good as you can get with a keyboard onscreen without installing a
super tiny keyboard (e.g. Hacker's Keyboard).
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun hyperify (prompt)
(let ((e (read-event)))
(vector (if (numberp e)
(logior (lsh 1 24) e)
(if (memq 'hyper (event-modifiers e))
e
(add-event-modifier "H-" e))))))
(defun add-event-modifier (string e)
(let ((symbol (if (symbolp e) e (car e))))
(setq symbol (intern (concat string
(symbol-name symbol))))
(if (symbolp e)
symbol
(cons symbol (cdr e)))))
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "<f6>") 'hyperify)
#+END_SRC
Best,
Jorge.
