I would like to run emacs inside of X, in order to get access to using different keys as modifiers (super, hyper, etc) that I define. Also, I want to be able to show the emacs on another console, leave my screen reader on that console, and go. The console would need to keep up with the emacs dispayed on the X session. I'm rather new to all of this, so appologize if this is something simple that I've overlooked. Here is what I've tried so far: 1. I've tried CVS emacs in multitty mode (starting emacs on one console, m-x server-start, switching to another console and running emacsclient -t. This seems to work, but the point isn't being synchronized between the two frames. 2. Running inside a screen and attaching from somewhere else with screen -xR also works, but I lose the ability to use shift or the other modifiers, e.g. ctrl-shift-f. What else can I try to get this to work, or am I going about it in the wrong way?
