I don't think you can do that via ctwm. The usual way would be to use xmodmap(1) to remap stuff. e.g., I invoke it pretty early in my .xinitrc: xmodmap ~/.xmodmap to do things like fix up that otherwise useless key some idiot decided to put to the left of 'a': remove Lock = Caps_Lock keycode 0x42 = Control_L add Control = Control_L and various other tweaks. xkeycaps(1) <http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/> is a useful frontend to write up a first blush xmodmap file. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
