What is your xmodmap? In principle, Mod4 should just be Meta and/or Super.
Mod1 stands for Alt and Mod3 for Hyper. Mod2 is used for NumLock.

By the way, see also the file

TeXmacs/progs/keyboard/kbd-config.scm

But maybe we should do like Emacs: first examine the xmodmap and
find out which modifier key is mapped to which physical modifier
state (Mod1, ..., Mod5). This would also enables us to get rid of
the modifier stuff in the preferences. And we could apply the same
workaround as emacs.

No, but for compatibility with older versions,
both A- and M- work in order to produce accented characters.

Note: for technical discussions, it is better to switch to

address@hidden
