Hi,
I figured it out: I mapped the first command, control and alternate
keys to left-alt, left-ctrl and left-meta/winkey, respectively,
using Preferences.app. However, left-meta/winkey wasn't
acknowledged as a modifier for whatever reason, so it didn't work.
In fact, nothing besides left-alt, left-ctrl and right-ctrl works
(German keyboard: right-alt == "Alt Gr" == ISO_Level3_Shift == Mode
switch I think). A bug in the GUI library or a misconfiguration on
my part?
Is your window manager grabbing the key for its own use?
If you use WindowMaker you generally need to run its preference
application, and (in the mouse section) change the 'Mouse grab
modifier' to be something other than 'Mod1 (Alt)'. I have mine set
to 'mod5 (Mode switch)'
