I don't know if this will help you, but I made option to act as alt_meta

I can write with diacritics in Romanian.
That is precisely what I don't want -- I want left Option to be Alt (as
labelled), right Option to be Alt-Gr (to create uncommon characters),
and Command to be Meta. As I understand it you make Option to be both
Alt and Meta, thus depriving Command of usefulness.
well, I don't feel any discomfort here, as both command buttons emit the
same code here. :-)
I have in /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/options = [lv3
lv3:lwin_switch,grp grp:alts_toggle]
I'd really like to understand these options...
when setting them from the gui (keyboard pref) for some of them there
are hints iirc... (nope they do not, but the strings are, for some,
pretty comprehensible)
BTW, to sum up: now I got what I want in Gnome, but I'd like to get rid
of Gnome options to have X determine configuration, or ideally the Linux
console so that I'll have the same keys all over the system; and I still
need Alt_Gr.
I want that, too (the console and whole X to act like that), but I found
that I should edit some keyboard mappings, a thing that I don't know.
maybe running some script in /etc/
Thanks anyway...
