I have in my Mac's ~/.Xmodmap:
! Set option to Meta
keycode 63 = Meta_L
This brings up a good point... why do we need this extra hackery in
darwinKeyboard.c etc when we can just use ~/.Xmodmap to accomplish
what you guys fighting over Alt/Mode_switch want? Sure it'd be nice to
have the ability to switch these maps while X is running, but is it
really *that* necessary? I'd rather avoid extra cruft and use things
that work already if possible...
Setting this in ~/Xmodmap should get you right alt mapped to
Mode_switch (I chose ritght since I prefer the Sun layout with AltGr
over there). You can uncomment the first line and change 'add mod1'
to get the left alt as well...
! keycode 66 = Mode_switch
keycode 69 = Mode_switch
clear shift
clear lock
clear control
clear mod1
clear mod2
clear mod3
clear mod4
clear mod5
add shift = Shift_L Shift_R
add lock = Caps_Lock
add control = Control_L Control_R
add shift = Shift_L Shift_R
add mod1 = Alt_L Mode_switch
add mod2 = Meta_L Meta_R
