Which may do nothing in your favorite applications, but it *is* available as another modifier. Besides, you'll find that you need Control-Alt-Fx rather than Control-Meta-Fx to switch back to a text console. Anyway, this is a generic XFree86 issue and in no way particular to FreeBSD. > When I'm on the console, neither key does anything For syscons, the "Microsoft keys" have the console keycodes 106, 107, 108, normally mapped to F62, F63, F64. You can remap them any way you see fit. > and I have no Meta key. How can I get Alt to be Meta all the time? Define what you mean by "meta" key. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
