10.3: Get xmodmap to remap alt / option in X11
Authored by: adrianm on Apr 27, '04 02:19:45PM

I tried this but it made no difference.
xev still shows the command key as Meta_L and alt/option as modeswitch.

This is no big deal to me, however, just thought I'd share the experience.

Am on 10.3.3.

Have you remembered to uncheck "Follow system keyboard layout" in X11.app's Preferences? If not, then X11.app may override the keyboard layout set in ~/.xinitrc. Or it may not! It's a race, so the results can be very confusing.
