How can I set modMask to ctrl+alt?
My favorite keyboards lack a windows key; caps is uncomfortable, and ctrl and alt both have too many conflicts to use individually, so I want to set modMask to ctrl+alt. Thanks, Ed

modMask = controlMask .|. mod1Mask -- should do the trick -- wmw

Something like controlMask .|. mod1Mask. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC) http://ro-che.info/docs/xmonad.hs

You can do this, but it will interfere with some contrib keybindings (ssh uses Ctrl-Alt-s, Execute uses Ctrl-Alt-x, IIRC). -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH

I guess you have a ThinkPad? Then you can alternatively use the right ctrl key as Xmonad key: xmonad $ defaultConfig { -- ... -- Use Right-Control as modifier key. modMask = mod3Mask } I have attached my ~/.xmodmap .
