After running the following command to map the TAB key to Hyper key: xmodmap -e "keycode 23 = Hyper_L" xev tells me that keycode 23 is Hyper_L, but I find that that c-h k TAB-n only recognizes the "n". The TAB=>Hyper_L key is not recognized as a modifier What else do I need to do? NOTE: There are many examples found by Google that show how to map caps_lock to hyper, but I have already successfully mapped caps_lock to control_L. Also, attempts to map control_r (keycode 109) to Hyper_R fail as well. TIA tim -- Tim Johnson http://www.alaska-internet-solutions.com
