I use it as additional Control key (which is pretty common IMO), and basically I don't use the left and right "real" Control keys at all, so those would be free. But the usual Alt seems more convenient to me. (And for all things window manager related, I use the Super [windows] key.) I think it is much better to configure those things globally for X instead of inside emacs. I guess, anyone who wants to press C with CapsLock wants to do that in all apps, and it's the same for Alt/Meta or sticky modifier keys... Bye, Tassilo
