Hi All,
I am trying to use the xmodmap untility to reconfigure my keyboard, but
I am not having success. As it is
keycode 115 = Super_L
keycode 117 = Menu
I want to changes these to be Alt_L and Alt_R respectively. So I did the
following at the command prompt.
[paul@cpe024350002546 paul]$ xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Alt_L"
[paul@cpe024350002546 paul]$ xmodmap -e "keycode 117 = Alt_R"
When I test these changes with xmodmap -pk I can see that it has been
changed. Below is the relevant output from xmodmap -pk
KeyCode Keysym (Keysym) ...
Value Value (Name) ...
115 0xffe9 (Alt_L)
117 0xffea (Alt_R)
Then I go into emacs to test by trying M-v but it does not work. I have
been trying to solve this on my own by reading man xmodmap, but I am
confused. I think the problem is that I don't know how to interpret the
output of xmodmap -pm which is as follows:
[paul@cpe024350002546 paul]$ xmodmap -pm
xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Alt_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74)
mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)
[paul@cpe024350002546 paul]$
Any help pointing me in the right direction is appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
