I've changed (using the keyboard layout options in Linux Mint 13) the keyboard layout as follows:
- The Caps Lock key is reconfigured as Compose key.
- Pressing both Shift keys at once toggles Caps Lock.
Since both options are offered by the menus (no xmodmap or similar involved), I figure they should work fine, and indeed, I've never noticed any problems (including inside XEmacs), with one exception:
Whenever I start XEmacs (version 21.4.22), I get an extra window (in the Emacs sense of "window") with the following text:
(1) (key-mapping/warning)
The meanings of the modifier bits Mod1 through Mod5 are determined
by the keysyms used to control those bits. Mod1 does NOT always
mean Meta, although some non-ICCCM-compliant programs assume that.
(2) (key-mapping/warning)
The semantics of the modifier bits ModShift, ModLock, and ModControl
are predefined. It does not make sense to assign ModControl to any
keysym other than Control_L or Control_R, or to assign any modifier
bits to the "control" keysyms other than ModControl. You can't
turn a "control" key into a "meta" key (or vice versa) by simply
assigning the key a different modifier bit. You must also make that
key generate an appropriate keysym (Control_L, Meta_L, etc).
(3) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs: Shift_L (0x32) generates ModLock, which is nonsensical.
Is there any way to tell XEmacs to stop teaching me that my keyboard settings are "bad"?
