The better idea is to put into a file you have full control on. Once
you update GNU Emacs you changes could be overwritten, putting them
into ~/.emacs or a site-init.el will keep them longer.
One more thing, the Apple keyboard has real F11-F16 keys which I have
not been able to get working under X,
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
seemed like the right choice but perhaps I need to address this first?
That's probably correct. The Apple *external* keyboards are a few
models -- and they all have evolved as those in the PowerBooks or
iBooks too. With xev (it's sometimes 'hidden' in a subdirectory of
/usr/X11R6/bin) you can record the missing key codes, and with xmodmap
you can make them (re-)assigned when X11 is launched.
In ~/.xinitrc the lines can be:
userresources=$HOME/.Xdefaults
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
In .xmodmaprc the lines could be like:
keycode 10 = 1 exclam exclamdown onesuperior
To cite from the man page:
Up to eight keysyms may be attached to a key, however the last four
are not used in any major X server implementation. The first keysym is
used when no modifier key is pressed in conjunction with this key, the
second with Shift, the third when the Mode_Switch key is used with this
key and the fourth when both the Mode_Switch and Shift keys are used.
One problem is to find the keysyms (names) your system understands.
These are predefined in a C header file,
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h. Check whether F1[1-9] are #define'd
there!
