Either Code Commander is messed up or something in my KDE > configuration is messing with it. Use xmodmap to see what happends where Meta_L is bound. In my keyboard with a clean XFree86 installation and US-English keyboard map, it was: % xmodmap -pke | grep Meta keycode 115 = Meta_L keycode 116 = Meta_R % xmodmap -pke | grep Alt keycode 64 = Alt_L keycode 113 = Alt_R So, to bind the left ALT key of my keyboard to Meta, I did: % cat >> ~/.Xmodmap keycode 64 = Meta_L ^D % xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap The next time I started Emacs, the left ALT key did work as a meta key. Putting the changes to the default xmodmap in ~/.Xmodmap ensures that they'll be there the next time you start X11 too. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."
