that's why there's an option to disable it :-)
Does the :-) mean you consider this a bug? Yes, I immediately
disabled it when I realized it caused my xmodmap's to be ignored, but
surely that is not intended?
No, not really - it's currently working as intended. We haven't
investigated whether it's possible or not to merge in changes from
both the input menu and the user automatically (it's kind of like
doing a file merge - how do you decide which keys to update and which
to keep the same..?). For the majority of users the default behaviour
-- matching the system input settings -- should be correct . But we
realized that the current behaviour would interfere with custom
xmodmap configurations, and so added the option to disable it.
Oh, I see. I didn't understand the 'follow' part. Just turning it off
works for me, since I never change my input menu.
Also there seems to be a problem if I move my meta to the option key:
the "fake mouse keys" match X modifiers, not native keys, so when you
moved Alt you also moved Button2. "man Xquartz" should tell you how to
move the mouse buttons to where you want,
Okay, that worked, but it seems odd that the documentation implies you
are assigning native keys (-fakemouse2 Command -fakemouse3 Option), but
I guess the faking is happening after the native key has been mapped to
an X modifier.
Thanks for your help. Works spiffy for me!

One question: I've seen a number of people who put meta on Option, is
this just emacs users? What's the rationale behind putting meta on
Command, given that interferes with menu bar key equivalents?
