I'm trying to set up Alt-F1 .. F6 hotkeys to switch to the different Pages I have set upon my desk. I'm having difficulty getting FVWM (or maybe X?) to recognize Alt as a modifier. If I set things up for Shift or Control it usually works fine.
Here's the output from xmodmap in regards to the Alt keys: ragabash 11:10 [~/.fvwm] xmodmap -pm xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Control_L (0x25) control Caps_Lock (0x42), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Meta_L (0x40), Meta_R (0x71) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74) mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e) ragabash 11:10 [~/.fvwm] xmodmap -pke | egrep "(Alt)|(Meta)|(Shift)|(Control)" keycode 37 = Control_L keycode 50 = Shift_L keycode 62 = Shift_R keycode 64 = Meta_L Alt_L keycode 109 = Control_R keycode 113 = Meta_R Alt_R ragabash 11:11 [~/.fvwm] The really strange thing is that last night, for a time Alt-F1 was working as desired, then it stopped. Control or Shift combinations were fine. Now I can't get any of them to work, even without a modifier. This is what I've been typing into FvwmConsole: Key F1 A M GotoPage 0 0 Key F1 A 1 GotoPage 0 0 Key F1 A S GotoPage 0 0 Key F1 A C GotoPage 0 0 Key F1 A N GotoPage 0 0 I'm not sure if this is an X problem, or a FVWM problem. I suspect it's FVWM because Alt and Ctrl hotkeys work in other applications, but maybe I've misconfigured something. If I run xev and tap the keys then they all correspond to the keycodes I see above -- it all looks perfectly fine. Any suggestions on how to track down the problem are appreciated.
