Package: jed
Version: 0.99.14-1
Severity: normal

It seems that within an Xterm, within Screen, Jed doesn't seem to pick up
Alt(or Mod1, or whatever ;). I can't figure out if this is an xterm issue
or a Jed issue, sorry :(

For what it's worth, most other things work fine.

This was changed upstream in XFree86 4.2.0.

See /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us:

// definition for the PC-AT type 101 key keyboard
default
xkb_symbols "pc101" {
    include "us(generic101)"
    key <LALT> {        [       Alt_L,  Meta_L          ]       };
    key <RALT> {        [       Alt_R,  Meta_R          ]       };

    // begin modifier mappings
    modifier_map Mod1   { Alt_L, Alt_R, Meta_L, Meta_R };
};

// definition for the extra key on 102-key keyboards
xkb_symbols "pc102" {
    include "us(pc101)"
    key <LSGT> {        [      less,    greater         ]       };
};

// definition for the extra keys on 104-key "Windows95" keyboards
xkb_symbols "pc104" {
    include "us(generic101)"
    key <LALT> {        [       Alt_L,  Meta_L          ]       };
    key <RALT> {        [       Alt_R,  Meta_R          ]       };
    key <LWIN> {        [       Super_L                 ]       };
    key <RWIN> {        [       Super_R                 ]       };
    key <MENU> {        [       Menu                    ]       };

    // modifier mappings
    modifier_map Mod1   { Alt_L, Alt_R, Meta_L, Meta_R };
    modifier_map Mod4   { Super_L, Super_R };
};

// defintion which includes both the Windows95 keyboards _and_
// the extra key on most European keyboards.
xkb_symbols "pc105" {
    include "us(pc104)"
    key <LSGT> {        [      less,    greater         ]       };
};

If you'd like the Windows keys to be Meta keys, you may be interested in the
new /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin file.

For instance,

partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "meta_win" {
    key <LALT> {        [       Alt_L,  Alt_L           ]       };
    key <RALT> {        [       Alt_R,  Alt_R           ]       };
    key <LWIN> {        [       Meta_L                  ]       };
    key <RWIN> {        [       Meta_R                  ]       };
    modifier_map Mod1   { Alt_L, Alt_R };
    modifier_map Mod4   { Meta_L, Meta_R };
};

You could use the above with the following XKB settings, for instance:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "altwin:meta_win"
EndSection
