Re: Alt key/.Xmodmap breakage

This worked:

    clear Mod1
    keycode 66 = Alt_L
    keycode 69 = Alt_R
    add Mod1 = Alt_L
    add Mod1 = Alt_R

I also mapped Command to Ctrl:

    clear control
    keycode 63 = Control_L
    keycode 67 = Control_L
    add control = Control_L

Thanks for the quick help!

The default mapping was changed to have Alt be Mode_switch because that is what tiger did. Additionally, in Tiger mod1 was Mode_switch and mod2 was Meta.

Try the following:

keycode 66 = Meta_L
clear mod1
clear mod2
add mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R
add mod2 = Mode_switch

I just installed the X11-2.1.0.pkg, and my .Xmodmap is either being ignored or is no longer being read. I use the GIMP a lot and had to add the following to my ~/.Xmodmap in order to get menu accelerators work correctly:

  clear Mod1
  keycode 66 = Meta_L
  add Mod1 = Meta_L

This worked fine before the update, but now it doesn't seem to be honored any longer. Anyone have Alt/Meta keys mapped for a 12" PowerBook G4 US keyboard? Or is this a bug?

Thanks to all involved for the hard work!
