Re: Combining Ctrl + Super_l + ' (quote) does not work

[Yarek Kowalik]

I tried doing the "add" command with xmodmap (see below), and that didn't work.
There are two comments on this: 

1)
the default xmodmap is identical between x86 and amd64 machines, yet
the amd64 is not working.  Doing xmodmap "add" does not help -- I even
tried restarting emacs

2) note that Ctrl_R + Super_L + ' works fine, but Ctrl_L + Super_L + ' does not.  It's the left Ctrl with left Super that's not functioning.

It's baffling.  Any other thoughts?

Any clue where I need to tweak to make this work?

You need to do it in X. The command 'xmodmap -pm' should print that both control and both super modifiers have an equal meaning, although the system can distinguish between them. Something like this should be shown:

       xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
       
       shift       Shift_L (0x40),  Shift_R (0x44)
       lock        Caps_Lock (0x41)
       control     Control_L (0x43),  Control_R (0x46)
       mod1        Mode_switch (0x42),  Mode_switch (0x45)
       mod2        Meta_L (0x3f)
       mod3        Super_L (0x2a),  Super_R (0x2f)
       mod4
       mod5

With xmodmap you can make your right and left modifier variants be "on the same level." Xmodmap can use kind of a "script," a file ~/.xmodmaprc that adjusts the details, which is invoked from ~/.xinitrc before the first X client is launched.

GNU Emacs relies on X11.
