Xorg a while back broke the default <mod4> mapping I was using. I've
just been adding it back "by hand" via a global xmodmap setting. Just
add the following two lines to this file:
/etc/X11/Xmodmap:
clear mod4
add mod4 = Super_L Menu
I prefer "Menu" for the right-hand mod4 key, you may want to use
Super_R instead.
After I added this Xmodmap and rebooted, I was able to put all my
window manager commands on <mod4> maps. I like <mod4> for this since
<alt> bindings tend to interfere with keys the programs themselves are
using.
The mappings I'm very frustrated if I can't have are:
<mod4>i iconify
<mod4>f maximize
<mod4>h horizontal-maximize
<mod4>m vertical-maximize
I just wish I could figure out how to get metacity (or some helper) to
also do an iconify via <mod4>button-2. I guess I'm still a twm guy at
heart.
