Hello, I upgraded this morning to the newest release of Apple's X11 server and
my META key assingment of Alt-Left = Meta no longer works. It was working
perfectly in the previous release of X11.lst night :(
I have a ~/.xinitrc file that loads my ~/.Xmodmap to make Alt-Left be Meta but
it seems to have no effect with the .2 beta release. I checked the FAQ -- Im
pretty sure that X11 is reading my .xinitrc file because Apple's default xterm
is not popping up when X11 launches. The FAQ also mentions "Use the command
xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Mode_switch' to activate the left Alt "
so i tried changing my ~/.xinitrc to add the -e swithch when it loads my
.Xmodmap, ie something like;
xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Mode_switch' $userxmodmap
No matter what I've tried the COMMAND key is defined as Meta. Ive also tried
fiddling with the Prefereces in X11 but that has not helped.
Can someone please tell me how I can again get Alt-Left as Meta in Xemacs? I'm
really hopless in Xemacs without it, and I was really happy with how well it
was working with the previous release.
thanks
