hi Alfe

- i want to move the file ~/.Xmodmap to the trash, i have tried erase ~/.Xmodmap and delete ~/.Xmodmap without succeeding

the i have tried man to have a manual of the terminal he asked "which manual ?" without proposing any choicelist so i was lost

i have looked in the mac os X help for terminal, can not find

- the folder Developer contains a folder usr which contains a include but not "X11" in this include

in Developer:usr:X1 not file keysymdef.h so i could not find /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h but no problem, in the finder i have searched keysymdef.h and i have found about 10 of them, i have opened one of them

- i have finally written the following programm, that i save in a file  named "feuillesdautomne" on the desktop; to use it, each time i laouch texmacs i must write xmodmap and then i move the icon of feuillesdautomne to the cursor of the terminal; the execution of my ptorgramm encoutered no error message

now in texmacs apple is M alt is A and i suppose that control is H (i think i never use H)

clear Mod1

clear Mod2

clear Mod3

keycode 63 = Meta_L

keycode 66 = Alt_L

keycode 67 = Mode_switch

add Mod1 = Meta_L

add Mod2 = Alt_L

add Mod3 = Mode_switch

1) how can i insert remarks ? 

2) i thougt that "Meta_L" and so on were "transparent" variables, i thougt all this was a way of writing "Mod1 is affected to keycode 63 which is the traduction of apple key"

but my logic seems to be false in this case; i dont understand what different realities represent the "keycode 63" and "Meta_L" 

i would say "keycode 63" représents the physical key left of the keyboard with a apple on it

while "Meta_L" would represent the "idea" of an apple key... 

but in this case why do i needed to write "keycode 63 = Meta_L" since i would believe that my apple key is already assigned to the "idea" of an apple key...

if anyone can expalin me.. i dont need this explanation since it works, but for my curiosity, i dont like to do things i dont understand

- i hate doing these things

Conclusion

-------------

thank you very much everyone

can we dream of a new version of texmacs with an intuitive interface for mapping modifiers keys, that would also works on mac os X without any autumn leaves ?
