I can get everything working up to the point I start emacs. The output from 'setxkbmap -print' is: xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(pc105)+altwin(alt_super_win)+capslock(hyper)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; }; and if I run XEV, and press capslock I get: KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001, root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8145997, (504,324), root:(2162,400), state 0x0, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffed, Hyper_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001, root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8146122, (504,324), root:(2162,400), state 0x40, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffed, Hyper_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False and if I press Left Windows key I get: KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001, root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8148993, (504,324), root:(2162,400), state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001, root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8149102, (504,324), root:(2162,400), state 0x40, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False All perfect so far. So, when I start up emacs, and press C-h k, then, for example, Capslock-d, (hyper-d) I get 'H-d is undefined'. Yeah. Then I press C-h k, then Left-Win-d, (super-d), I get 'H-d is undefined', and not 's-d is undefined', which is what I expected to see. Any ideas how I might resolve this?
