- Open xterm/Terminal in X11
- Type pico to start the pico editor
- Type this code:
clear Mod1 keycode 66 = Alt_L keycode 69 = Alt_R add Mod1 = Alt_L add Mod1 = Alt_R
- Enter Control-O to save this as .xmodmap in your home folder (/users -> username -> .xmodmap).
- Use Control-X to quit pico
- Quit X11
- Restart X11 and start OpenOffice.org 103
I think the X11 standard generally use Apple Option key as a compose key for entering foreign and special characters, and so does the default setting in X11Beta3.
