The convention for META is currently Mod1, (is this enforced anywhere?), but I haven't noticed any applications assuming any other conventions. Is there any general consensus on defining any other "standard" uses of the Mod's? For instance, has anyone seen any applications looking for the NUMLOCK modifier, as in a PC style keyboard? -- Doug Klein Network Computing Devices uunet!lupine!klein
