A crude way (untested) would be to map your right alt key to function like the left alt key. I.e., you'd not have it for any other applications. Assuming you don't mind this, find your keyboard layout file, which will be somewhere like /etc/default.keyboard. There'll be a line like this in the file: keycode 100 = AltGr . Replace it with keycode 100 = Alt . loadkeys is your friend here. -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a"). _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
