Subject: bug#7150: 23.2.50; Include patch for distinguishing between left and right Alt keys on OSX
Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:23:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CB36442.3070409@swipnet.se> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <AANLkTinzO37hgsC69Uf-qRoCtuE4hk9NWKWnhkDFG6Ea@mail.gmail.com>
I commited the same functionality in the emacs-23 branch. The patch you refer
to makes none mean something else for right alt (follow left alt) than it does
for the left alt (pass to system). This is inconsistent, so I kept none to
mean pass to system, and made a new value, left, to mean follow the left alt key.
