I have xbindkeys up and running and everything else works, so I don't know why. Here is the file: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/.xbindkeysrc Anyway, I managed to solve the problem another way! First I put this in .xinitrc to make CAPS produce the letter 'a', which I can later handle, contrary to CAPS (?) when later telling zsh what to do with the char. setxkbmap -option caps:none # disable caps lock xmodmap -e 'keycode 66=a'# rebind CAPS (66) M-a seems to (in zsh) execute a command while not removing it (the command, i.e. its text) from the input line. I can live without that, so I can instead do: bindkey -M main\ea enable-caps-mode So now, yes, M-CAPS in xterm does enable-caps-mode! Only, CAPS in X suddenly outputs an a, but that's OK. In the Linux VTs and in particular in Emacs I have that something useful which isn't applicable to X/xterm, so I won't hit it in X anyway. But the M-CAPS enabling of caps-mode is consistent, at last... Thank you both - interestingly, I wouldn't have had the energy to solve it it without you making suggestions, even tho they didn't work :) But if you get it to work with xdotool/xbindkeys pleas tell me, of course. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I also tried with xdotool(1) like this xdotool keydown 0xe2; xdotool keyup 0xe2 That actually did work! ... but only as a command from xterm :( When I tried to assign an xbindkeys(1) shortcut, for some reason it wouldn't work, not even with DISPLAY=:0 on both commands and 0xe2 substituted for 'a'.
