Hello John, Sorry for being late.
This can be tricky, but feasible with FD-KEYB without recompiling. You can start from some US layout and try this example, for Alt+X First, you need to find out the key and scancode that Alt+X produces (that EDIT receives). I found this page, but there are utilities that may help you out with this (like KEYCODE). Keyboard scan codes (freepascal.org) <https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/keyboard/kbdscancode.html> According to this, Alt+X returns scancode 2Dh (45) Define a plane for Left-Alt: [Planes] RALT To emit simply a scancode with 0, you can do the / trick: [KEYS:k1] 45C x X 0/45 This should work.
