Hi; I am having trouble setting up modifier keys in Xemacs and I have been unable to ascertain if it is an a) Xemacs problem; b) X Window System problem; c) Fedora problem; or, d) a Bill stupidity problem. I have X Window System version 6.8.1 installed with my FC3. It is fully patched and or up to date as far as I can tell. xmodmap pk shows Super_L and Super_R mapped to keycodes 115 and 116 respectively, as does the gnome keyboard layout gui. When I run an Xemacs command with "super f6" for example I get no response, unless I purposefully mis-define (Super, S, or Super_L) global-set-key. Then it tells me I have a modifier error. i.e it seems to be recognizing super as a modifier of some kind. When I am in Xemacs, gnomes keybindings are not relinquished and continue to do gnomish things. My init.el contains the following: (define-key global-map '(super f6) 'insert-date) and/or (global-set-key '(super f6) 'insert-date) The 'insert-date function works. I have tested it with other key combinations using meta. I have tried every possible combination of super and f6, f, (),[] -- nothing works. My shift key when used as a modifier key is wonky as well. I have Fedora Core 3 installed and I had no problems with 'super' or 'shift' under RH9. Any suggestions would be welcome. Regards Bill
