You should read the documentation about configuring the keyboard.
Help -> Configuration -> Keyboard modifiers
That said, I actually do not fully understand the way X deals with
keyboard modifiers myself. The system seems to be quite complicated,
dependent on the version of X, and very unstable as a function of
the actual keyboard being used. If someone is willing to reshape
the way TeXmacs deals with keyboard modifiers in a correct and
more comprehensive way, then I will be happy to integrate such work...
Best wishes, Joris
