Hi,

I recently switched to cwm (from WindowMaker).  Everything works
great, except for how some key mappings interact with applications.

OpenOffice uses control-arrowkey to move the cursor a word at a time,
and control-shift-arrowkey to highlight.  At times I must highlight
entire paragraphs, or skip through paragraphs at high speed, so I need
this function.  Firefox has similar behavior, and I'm sure other apps
do as well.

cwm uses control-arrowkeys for window size & placement, so these
keystrokes never reach the app.

I'm not attached to control-arrowkey for this application function,
but I need the function.  I'm sure other people have had this
annoyance as well.

My first thought is to use the "windows" key on this keyboard for a
control key just for applications, but a) I'm not sure how to do that,
and b) someone else has probably had a better idea.

Any suggestions for remapping keys to restore control-shift-arrow
highlighting in apps, without losing cwm's behavior?  Is there a
specific OpenBSD way to do that, or a particular man page I should
read?

Thanks,
==ml
