I can't see any way to do this. I find this very confusing...
I've used xmodmap to do this. Mentioned several times in the archives.
One gotcha is that this affects the mouse button emulation too (so
Command is middle and Option is right).
This all could be better...
IMHO it would help if it were possible to distinguish between left-Alt
and right-Alt and
left-Meta and right-Meta... I'd use right-Command as compose key if I
could.
As far as the X11 world knowing about Alt and Meta, it certainly does.
It also knows about
a whole bunch of other things that most common keyboards don't.
Cheers,
Nick
