This is cool and all, but coming from the emacs world, all I want is a keyboard with four meta keys. Ctrl/alt/command/option maybe. All in a row to the left/rig

This is cool and all, but coming from the emacs world, all I want is a keyboard with four meta keys. Ctrl/alt/command/option maybe. All in a row to the left/right of the spacebar. That would be ideal.
- punchclockhero 9y agoHave you tried Japanese keyboards? They tend to have smaller spacebars and extra modifiers.

From my .Xmodmap file: clear Mod1 clear Mod3 clear Mod4 clear Mod5 ! left alt -> Meta keycode 64 = Meta_L add Mod1 = Meta_L ! right alt -> Alt keycode 108 = Alt_R add Mod4 = Alt_R ! left windows -> Super keycode 133 = Super_L add Mod3 = Super_L ! right windows -> Hyper keycode 134 = Hyper_R add Mod5 = Hyper_R Emacs uses all four automatically, as M- A- s- H- respectively. (alternatively, see: http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_hyper_super_keys.html http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_hyper_super_keys.html )
- bmn__ 9y agoCaution, that kills the ISO_Level3_Shift mapping on the regular 105 layout. Much less intrusive solution is to leave Super_L, Alt_L, ISO_Level3_Shift as well as the control and shift keys unchanged and simply map Super_R to Meta_R and map Menu to Hyper_R.
