Greetings,
Using Linux keycodes, I'm trying to map the command keys (next to the
spacebar on an ADB keyboard) to alt using xmodmap, but nothing I've

xmodmap is now deprecated but not difficult to support. I continue to
ship the old /etc/X11/Xmodmap in xfree86-

CapsLock is a normal key, or replace your Apple keyboard with somebody
else's PC-style USB
