Hi, this looks like it is going to be a question for a MacX guru, as no one else seems to know the answer :-) In MacX does the option key have a keycode ? ie can you redefine the option key using xmodmap ? I have had no luck hacking around with xev and xmodmap myself. does MacX grab the option key for itself and not pass it on ? What I would like to do is make option into a meta key, instead of having to use the up arrow key like it is at the moment. From what I've seen and heard it seems like this isn't possible, which is a *real* bummer. thanks for any info, Richard PS - can you do this with eXodus ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Moss Department of Theoretical Chemistry University of Sydney Australia moss_r@summer.chem.su.oz.au -------------------------------------------------------------------
