Re: how to enable use of right-alt key

Maybe xmodmap if X is running?
xmodmap by itself tells you what these keys are mapped to.
I don't know for sure this will work, but try:

xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_R = Alt_L"
If you want to reset it typ:
setxkbmap

Subject: how to enable use of right-alt key
 
Greetings!


A long time ago, I found and used a command that enabled me to use the
right-alt key in the same way that I could use the left-alt key.  I did
this especially for making Emacs easier to use, but I recall that the
command itself was by way of the Bash shell.


Recently, I've look for the way to do this but have not found it.  I've
so far done no better searching Emacs information.  Can anybody tell me
or point me to how I'd do this?  The main benefit for me would be in
using Emacs, but being able to use both alt keys at the command line
would also help some.


Thanks for any information.
