Are you using X? If so, is it 4.x? If so, edit your XF86Config file. Find the "InputDevice" section for your keyboard. Add this line to bind `meta' and `alt' to the alt keys: Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_alt" I'm using a Happy Hacking keyboard, and I used the line: Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_win" to bind `meta' to my left and right diamond keys (the ones that would act like "Windows" keys were I running a different OS. I get both `alt' and `meta' separately this way. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+OStI5sRg+Y0CpvERAlvlAJ9SgVLzeeXof7oTbXAlA7lGyly9BgCeOdhj Berib/M8H7YmqKprG1GQ2r8= =dNR3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
