Re: Mapping alt to altgr

User-agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (X11/20041207)

This is the contents of my .xmodmaprc

remove mod2 = Alt_L
remove mod1 = Alt_L
remove mod2 = Mode_switch
remove mod1 = Mode_switch
remove mod1 = Multi_key
add mod2 = Mode_switch
add mod2 = Alt_L

After logging in I run xmodmap .xmodmaprc followed by xmodmap -pm which prints 
out:

xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0xe8),  Shift_R (0xec)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x40)
control     Control_L (0xe7)
mod1
mod2        Mode_switch (0xed),  Alt_L (0xe9)
mod3        Num_Lock (0x5a)
mod4        Meta_L (0xea),  Meta_R (0xee)
mod5

Then I start emacs and is unable to use either alt or altgr to compose character such as { on my swedish layout. Howerver in all other apps (like thunderbird where I just wrote it), including Xemacs it works fine. I was hoping there was away to do this internally in emacs.

I don't know xev, neither can I find it on my system.

Hope this is helps you help me

Hi, I tried to map left alt to altgr (right alt) in emacs without success.


You know 'xmodmap -pm'?

You know xev that tells you a key's keysym and keycode?

Did you use syntax like

    clear Mod1
    clear Mod2
    keycode 66 = Meta_L
    add Mod1 = Meta_L

How and when do you try to tell X11 the new key meanings?

$ sumascii BILL GATES
  B   I   L   L   G   A   T   E   S
 66+ 73+ 76+ 76+ 71+ 65+ 84+ 69+ 83 = 663

 and add 3 because he's Bill Gates the third.
