Motif uses certain default accelerators. My keyboard does not have
one of these default keys so I have to map it to a key I already have
before Motif then does its mapping. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Below I explain the problem in detail and discuss the measures I have taken
to remedy the situation.
I have installed motif 1.1 on a Sun 3/160 running Sun 4.1. When
I start up mwm I receive a warning stating that I have an "invalid
accelerator at line 7 of my specification." I've traced it to the
default accelerator bindings. The 7th default internal to mwm is:
Maximize Alt+F10
My keyboard has no F10, so it gives me a non-fatal warning. Mwm takes its
default bindings and merges them you declare in your .motifbind file.
I know I can fix the problem by altering the mwm source, changing the
F10 to anther key and recompiling, but I'd like a work around so that if I
install on another odd keyboard I won't have to recompile.
I have tried to change my F10 binding in the XKeysymDb located in
/usr/lib/X11. i.e.: osfF10 1004FFC1 (I map F10 to L10) but that
didn't work either or I did it wrong. At this point I am stuck and would
appreciate a simple solution to the problem.
Thanks.
