I'm looking to use the left control key as an additional [Meta] in emacs. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and I assume something could be done using xmodmap. Previous attempts at this have caused me to sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup in order to get all of my keys working correctly again. An emacs-only solution that could go in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el would be preferable!

  • This is not what I am looking for. I already have CapsLock remapped in this fashion. What I need is a way for emacs to see the left control key as my Meta key.
