Hello,
I use both Meta and Alt in X, separately. When I switch keyboards
(something I do often as I plug various USB keyboards into my laptop),
I often find it difficult to get used to where keys labelled Command,
Option, Alt, Meta, Diamond, etc. are located. I find it easiest to
simply declare all such keys on the left Alt, and all such keys on the
right Meta. Here is a patch (to installed conffiles) for an XkbOption
"alt:leftaltrightmeta" that makes LWIN into Alt_R and RWIN into Meta_L.
It also adds an opposite option "alt:leftmetarightalt".
