Possible with: xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = ISO_Level3_Shift Multi_key" Problem: This works with all programs, exept emacs/xemacs Procedure to reproduce it (with a german keyboard): 1) typing for example windows_left-"9" BEFORE invoking xmodmap gives you the error message "S-9 not defined" in the minibuffer. 2) Use xmodmap as described above. 3) Typing windows_left-"9" or Alt-Gr-"9" on a xterm or any editor exept emacs/xemacs gives you now correctly "]". On emacs/xemacs you get for BOTH the error message "S-9 not defined", so there is no possibility any more to get square brackets or any of the other third key values on a german keyboard. You get it also on a knoppix 3.4 (xfree 4.3.0, emacs 21.3), but NOT on an older Suse 7.2 (xfree 4.0.3). So I suppose, there might be some problem between xfree 4.3.0 end emacs/xemacs?
