Hi,
I've always loved the way I can use the Alt key for doing stuff on windows.
However, I recently tried KDE 3.5 - and it lets me use the 'Windows' key
instead! In my xorg.conf file, I set the keyboard type to "pc101" instead of
"pc104", and now Emacs also uses the Alt key instead of Meta, basically
leaving the Windows key on my keyboard for all my Enlightenment inspired
window jiggery - sweet. Before all this, I'd be stuck when apps used
Alt+click, for example, because e16 wouldn't let the click through - thank you
KDE...
But no thanks. I miss e16. I miss the way Alt+middle-click would open up the
Window menu letting me do all sorts of goofy stuff. I miss the way that, even
though I've configured KDE to switch desktops using "Shift+Alt+left/right", I
can only select from a menu which desktop I want to switch to, and when I let
go it switches - I want the desktop to switch instantly as soon as I press
left/right! I don't like KDE's "All desktops appear in a line", I want to
configure the number of rows/columns of desktops I use.
I tried using xev, and it seems that with a pc104 keyboard, the Windows key
produces 'Meta_L/R' events, but with the keyboard set as pc101 in the
xorg.conf file, it produces 'Super_L/R'. As mentioned already, apps like
emacs now don't detect the windows key as meta. Just something I'd mention
for those who may be interested in doing something like this.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, how do I get e16 to use the 'Super_L/R'
keys instead of 'Alt_L/R' for special operations on windows?
Assuming you have Super_L/R as modifier 4 (use xmodmap):
e16 - 0.16.8:
Copy /usr/share/e16/bindings.cfg to .e16/ and change modifier 'A' to '4'.
Earlier versions:
Copy /usr/share/enlightenment/keybindings.cfg to .enlightenment/ and
change __ALT to __WINDOWS_KEY, __CTRL_ALT to __CTRL_META4, etc.
