During initialization, the following xmodmap is performed by /usr/openwin/lib/openwin-system: #install Meta keys, XView function keys, AltGraph and Num_Lock as modifiers xmodmap -e 'add mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R' \ -e 'add mod2 = F13 F16 F18 F19 F20' \ -e 'add mod3 = Mode_switch' \ -e 'add mod4 = Num_Lock' I think I understand the first and last part - the Meta_L and R take care of assigning a meaning to the first modifier - though to be honest I do not know what that implies. The last sets a special modifier for the Num Lock key, which I assume is then honored or recognized perhaps by the server to mean to toggle the keypad. But what is that mod2 and 3 for? The comments imply it has something to do with input of either window oriented functions or special graphics oriented functions. But what are those functions? Thanks -- Larry W.
