I can get everything working up to the point I start emacs.
The output from 'setxkbmap -print' is:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(pc105)+altwin(alt_super_win)+capslock(hyper)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
and if I run XEV, and press capslock I get:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8145997, (504,324), root:(2162,400),
state 0x0, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffed, Hyper_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8146122, (504,324), root:(2162,400),
state 0x40, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffed, Hyper_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
and if I press Left Windows key I get:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8148993, (504,324), root:(2162,400),
state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8149102, (504,324), root:(2162,400),
state 0x40, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
All perfect so far.
So, when I start up emacs, and press C-h k, then, for example, Capslock-d,
(hyper-d) I get 'H-d is undefined'. Yeah.
Then I press C-h k, then Left-Win-d, (super-d), I get 'H-d is undefined', and
not 's-d is undefined', which is what I expected to see.
Any ideas how I might resolve this?
Dave
