Its value is meta Documentation: Which keys Emacs uses for the super modifier. This should be one of the symbols `alt', `hyper', `meta', `super'. For example, `super' means use the Super_L and Super_R keysyms. The default is nil, which is the same as `super'. So this should work: (setq x-super-keysym 'meta) Good luck :-) Glyn
