Matthieu, Thanks very much! I'm going to look up some of that documentation, but I do have one more question you might be able to answer. I made some progress and can map things to the Win key using "Mod4" as the name of the modifier key (in the .Xdefaults file). However, when I use xmodmap to look at my key assignments, I see "mod4" (no caps) listed as the name of the modifier. mod4 doesn't work in .Xdefaults but Mod4 does. Is there an extra step somewhere, or how does mod4 get "reinterpreted" as Mod4. regards, Randy Kramer Matthieu Herrb wrote: ---<good stuff snipped>--- _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
