FW: Key modifiers in TWM. (and xwinclip-Test04)

[Virgilio, Vincent]

Ah, I meant that I am using XWin-Test57.exe, not -Test04.  xwinclip on the
brain . . .

By the way, if it helps, I do not notice unusual slowdowns (there are usual
ones) in Outlook with xwinclip running.

Hello,

I can't get TWM to recognize at least a few key modifiers: control, shift,
meta.  I am working in /etc/X11/twm/system.twmrc.  TWM picks up other
modifications to that file, but not the standard Button{1,2,3} bindings (it
seems).

To no avail, I tried using xmodmap to make explicit the Meta assignment to
the left Alt key, i.e. 'xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Alt_L"', in
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh just after XWin.exe.  'xev' show that the
assignment was active.

The Alt key seemed to work out-of-the-box some time ago (can't say when).
Should it work like this today?

I am using XWin-Test04 and the latest xfree86 packages (twm) available
through cygwin's setup.exe.

Regards,

Vince Virgilio
