I'm using a new keyboard that has a short space bar because there are two 'Windows' keys on that row, one on each side. The left 'Windows' key is on the left side of the left Alt key. The left Alt key is an alias for the Meta key and I want to swap the two key's positions for ease of reach.
Using xev I learn that the left 'Windows' key has keysym Super_L and the left Alt key has keysym Alt_L. I tried modifying my existing .Xmodmap which swaps the left CapsLock and Ctrl keys by copying the remove and add sequence for Super_L and Alt_L. Unfortuately, xmodmap did not like this: remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove Control = Control_L remove Super = Super_L remove Alt = Alt_L keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L keysym Alt_L = Super_L keysym Super_L = Alt_L add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L add Super = Super_L add Alt = Alt_L keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Alt_L I must have a syntax error that I don't recognize. A clue stick is needed. Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
