My laptop has no windows key, so for the past year or so I've just been using alt as mod, and dealing with the fact that I can't use some shortcuts involving alt in various applications (emacs, irssi, etc.). Then just today I realized that I can map my left and right alt keys separately! So I mapped left alt to Mod3 and use that as my mod key, and the right alt key went on happily being good old alt. Now I can once again use all those alt shortcuts. Now I also feel dumb. So I thought I would share just in case anyone else hasn't figured this out either. =) -Brent
