Alt and Meta modifiers
Hi all,
When I work on my Sun station I bind a few emacs-function
with Alt-something keys. And emacs binds a lot of its function
with Meta-something. On Sun keyboard I have two separate
modifiers Alt and Meta, so these definitions don't interfere.
For example Meta-x is the execute-extended-command emacs function
and Alt-x is the my own exit function.
In Linux we have only one Alt modifier. All tools (I know
about emacs and tcsh) use it as Meta modifier. Can I use left
Alt as Meta and right Alt as Alt ? I tried to play with xmodmap
but never had success. Does somebody knows way how to do this?
Thanks,
