Bug#254997: xlibs: [xkb] broken modifiers in french keymap
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal
with layout pc105/fr and options altwin:left_meta_win,compose:menu mofiifers are totally broken : Mod4 for super_l, hyper_l, and meta_l
the alt key has both alt and meta symbols (contradictions), and meta_l has modifier mod1 AND mod4.
This breaks (x)emacs.
I get a normal behaviour by using following xmodmap :
!Pour avoir un méta qui marche...
keycode 0x40 = Alt_L
remove Mod4 = Meta_L
remove Mod4 = Hyper_L
remove Mod4 = Super_L
remove Mod1 = Meta_L
add Mod3 = Meta_L
