Hey all,
I'm trying to use the super modifier in some of my key bindings. The
problem is when I hit the super key emacs interprets it as super +
control. For example, when I hit (super t) emacs shows (super control
t). I can bind a key to super + control and it works, but this seems
like a unnecessary hack.
I'm running emacs 23.0.60.1 on Ubuntu 8.10.
xev shows that pressing the super key maps to Super_L.
Starting emacs -q (no init file) has the same behavior.
Any ideas?

i recall a similar post maybe 2 months ago... i think the answer was
with Linux desktop setup... i think you want to turn off some language/
input-system switching shortcut in the desktop.
maybe search groups.google.com with Control and Super.

Well it wasn't emacs at all. d'oh. I had added control to the key I
wanted to use in my .xmodmap. Everything is doing what it should be.
Thanks,
Joe
