Re: Alt and Meta modifiers
Hi,
Thanks for advice, this works fine, but can't help me.
This binds LeftAlt to Meta, but RightAlt binds to ModeShift(or
Mode_switch???). Keycode of ModeShift is equivalent to keycode
of AltGraph on Sun-4 keyboard. But I don't know how to bind
emacs function to this modifier. According to emacs
documentation, it may bind its actions only to Alt,Meta,Control
or Shift modifiers.
I tried:
RightAlt Alt
but this don't work.
Can somebody help? How can I bind right Alt to Alt?
Or how can I bind emacs function to Mode_switch modifier?
Thanks,
Daniel
