The exact error message is : Could not save changes to this script because you do not have the access privileges -5000 this is strange, Eric Hoch said me he cannot reproduce it ? This is probably nothing important, or even my fault (maybe a bad parameter in packaging). To see if you can reproduce it, the package is available at the URL I send you. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The root cause of the problem is that X11 does not load the XKEYBOARD extension per default. So all we have to do is to start X11 with a proper commandline parameter, i.e. +kb To achieve this without exchanging X11.app completely, as suggested earlier, you just have to start X11 by providing the full path to the real binary: /Application/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 +kb I changed the launch script accordingly and will attach it to issue 42998. BTW: have you tried out my patch that makes the Apple key (aka Meta key) available ? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Tested with the generic plugin and with the gtk plugin, but others should have a look at this, too. Note: to make sure that all hotkey combinations really go to OOo and are not taken away by X11.app, you have to go to the X11 preferences and make sure that the entry: 'Enable keyboard shortcuts under X11' is *not* checked. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

After a keystroke, remap, using xmodmap and the shell script ends. What do you think about this ? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Of course all X applications would benefit from it but don't you think this would be too much ? I agree that the problem with my patch is that it will only fix the generic and the KDE plugin (both share the key input implementation) but no the gtk plugin. On the other hand, the GTK plugin is not started by default but requires some user interaction (i.e. setting an environment variable), so I think the patch will cover most use cases. What about another idea: the xmodmap patch does the same job but would also fix the gtk problem. Patching the users login script, however, is tricky as you would have to find out what his login shell is etc. So I propose to place the xmodmap call in the Darwin section of the soffice shell script. Or, to make it even more Mac specific, just put the call in your Apple script used to launch OpenOffice.org. This would be my favourite place. Regarding your last question: I agree that we should support the Command key. A full solution, however, would also require to change all occurences of Ctrl- to the Apple Symbol in the UI, something that NeoOffice/J for instance has done. Many places would be converted automatically because a VCL call returns this string, but this doesn't work for the Online-Help. So what do you think about silently supporting both keys so that you can use whatever you want ? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Say me where/how do the changes, and I'll try. A full solution, however, would also require to change all occurences of Ctrl- to the Apple Symbol in the UI, something that NeoOffice/J for instance has done. I have no clue (not really, but mayby not a complete point of view of the problem) about how difficult it is. Maybe the change have to be Mac OS X only too. About place xmodmap in soffice script, that's exactly what I have tried the first time I read the fix for remaping with mod5. trangely (Eric Hoch will confirm), the changes are ok the second time you launch OOo. I'm probably stupid, but I never found why. Eric neither didn't found... : every time, the second (only) X11 launched application will benefit of xmodmap remap. Something like changes are effective only when an X11 window is closed or something like that... - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The problem is that the Option-key does not work like an ordinary Alt-key but as an AltGr-key, i.e., one that produces alternative characters. It seems that there is actually no equivalent to the Alt-Key as known from other systems. So I propose to just strip off the Alt-modifier, which is erroneously sent although a different character code is produced. Because there is not a single key on my keyboard that would not produce a printable character in combination with Alt I think this is fine. This also means that for example the key combination Alt-F will never open the File menu. Can anybody check if this worked on earlier (i.e. pre-Tiger) X11 versions ? Unfortunately, this patch only works for the standard X11 VCL plugin. The gtk plugin has no chance to fix this, as it receives everything from gtk which would have to be fixed. In fact, the patch does the same as the xmodmap script, but is of course limited to OOo. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Just two points... 1) I think the solution must work with all plugins. gtk and kde are working, so only default is not acceptable 2) Remember : the objective is to obtain the same behaviour for ALT key with OOo and with native applications. As example ALT + shift + L must still give | symbol with Apple keyboard About a possible solution, in an installer (means a package), it's not very complicated to replace X11 silently : just create the good tree with X11.app bundle inside the package is enough. Packagemaker does the job. Florian, already provided a pre-build X11.app binary, and the user won't see anything, for sure. Just take care the changes are reversibles. Maybe doable too... Something else around keyboard : it would be great if we could directly remap keyboard as expected in Aqua Human Interfaces Guidelines ? The first ask in the wish-list is : swap CTRL Key with Apple key (works actually with 1.1.5) Just a suggestion - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
