elisp: X11 Keysyms

 
 38.16 Operating on X11 Keysyms
 ==============================
 
 To define system-specific X11 keysyms, set the variable
 ‘system-key-alist’.
 
  -- Variable: system-key-alist
      This variable’s value should be an alist with one element for each
      system-specific keysym.  Each element has the form ‘(CODE .
      SYMBOL)’, where CODE is the numeric keysym code (not including the
      vendor-specific bit, −2**28), and SYMBOL is the name for the
      function key.
 
      For example ‘(168 . mute-acute)’ defines a system-specific key
      (used by HP X servers) whose numeric code is −2**28 + 168.
 
      It is not crucial to exclude from the alist the keysyms of other X
      servers; those do no harm, as long as they don’t conflict with the
      ones used by the X server actually in use.
 
      The variable is always local to the current terminal, and cannot be
      buffer-local.  Multiple Terminals.
 
    You can specify which keysyms Emacs should use for the Meta, Alt,
 Hyper, and Super modifiers by setting these variables:
 
  -- Variable: x-alt-keysym
  -- Variable: x-meta-keysym
  -- Variable: x-hyper-keysym
  -- Variable: x-super-keysym
      The name of the keysym that should stand for the Alt modifier
      (respectively, for Meta, Hyper, and Super).  For example, here is
      how to swap the Meta and Alt modifiers within Emacs:
           (setq x-alt-keysym 'meta)
           (setq x-meta-keysym 'alt)
