Re: IDLWAVE 4.7/Tutorial

Alright, now this is some exciting news.  Take a look online at this
tutorial too, for more friendly reading:

P.S. For linux users:  If you'd like to make use of that silly Windows
key just outside your "Alt" keys (which in Windows is used to mail a
copy of your last 100 browsing locations to bill@gates.com) you can
easily do this.  For me, adding the following to ~/.Xmodmap worked:

keycode 115 = Hyper_L
keycode 116 = Hyper_R
clear Mod5
add Mod5 = Hyper_L Hyper_R

(and yes david, you can read all about this notation: man xmodmap)

If these keycodes aren't correct, run "xev", position input in little
white window, and press the Gates-was-here key.  You'll see something
like:

blah blah, keycode 115 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), blah blah

and similar for the other key.  From this you can get the appropriate
"keycode" above, but 115,116 will probably work.  You can see how to use
this method for any other keys too (you can make a "Super" modifier too
if you have a spare).  

Now you can have lots of fun with:

H-down,H-up,H-t,H-l,H-w,H-e,H-x,H-@,H-?,H-p,H-q,H-z,H-y,H-r,H-h,H-m,H-o,H-u,H-k,H-n,H-s,H-a,H-d,H-i

Ahh the joy.
