1) create the file ~/.xmodmaprc containg the lines : remove mod3 = Alt_L keycode 113 = Alt_L add mod4 = Meta_L add mod1 = Alt_R In this case the alt Left key is becoming the meta key. if you want use the alt right key just change L by R and R by L. 2) restart X-windows or do $ xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc 3) You can test the new configuration using the program xkeycaps.
