I tried by creating a custom gnome binding for super-x, but I got confused by the gnome gui, and at any rate I would like a method that works the same across xfce, lxde and gnome, if possible. Surely somebody has already achieved this. Does anyone have any pointers? The thing I want to achieve is having a local emacs on each client machine I use that will perform commands locally. I want this feature available on a wm global key so it will always work regardless of which other terminal program I'm using at the moment, such as x2go etc. -- Joakim Verona
