:So, I wanted to rebuild and re-install a newer version. I tried 2.6.3,
:2.7.3, and the latest CVS version as of this morning. In none of those
:versions will my META key work anymore. (META is the diamond key next
:to the space on my keyboard). It works in Emacs, and in the old rxvt,
:and in other applications, but not in the newly built rxvt.
META is not usually a known X11 modifier. rxvt tries to probe the
keyboard modifier mappings for your META key though it might be a bit too
enthusiastic about success if you also have ALT key mappings. If you
always map your META key to a specific modifier (for me, ``xmodmap''
tells me which one, or if you have ``xev'' you can work it out from the
``state'' when you press the META key) then you can use the option
-mod or --modifier (which is also the Xdefaults resource) to set it.
% rxvt -mod meta
% rxvt -mod mod1
Or put ``Rxvt.modifier: mod1'' in your ~/.Xdefaults (or whatever you
use).
