I have a matrix that I have created and have it printing just about the way I want it. I have \ switched the font to AndySans8 and it is reflected in the output. But, now there is to much space between the rows that are printed. It is the same as when the font was AndySans10. Is there a preference setting or something that I can decrease this? If I decrease the height in the window, it does not \ affect the printed output. The other question relates to displaying floating point numbers centered in the cell AND to align the decimal points. What I have is: +-----------+ | .409 | | 63.720 | | 1637.208 | +-----------+ and I would like to have: +-----------+ | .409 | | 63.720 | | 1637.208 | +-----------+ Is this possible?

As so many have learned, Andrew's compound document architecture and user-friendly interface provide the perfect tools for users who more and more frequently access the Internet and the Web. Andrew has served as the basis for creating applications to improve Web access and usage. Add your invention to the list by submitting a paper on the topic. Some of the invited talks will include: \italic{A Guided Tour of Andrew on the Web The Andrew Web Browser Creating HTML Editors Using Andrew } Carnegie Mellon University and the Andrew Consortium are at the forefront of developments on the Web so we have broadened the submission specifications somewhat. Web articles need not directly utilize Andrew. Besides your paper presentations, we are soliciting speakers on these topics: \italic{Searching the Web Paying Electronically for Services on the Web Planning Web Sites for Commercial, Governmental and Educational Use Internet Security Issues on a User-Friendly Web } \bold{ANDREW AS A TOOL} In addition to Web topics, the conference invites papers on any aspect of the Andrew User Interface System, including the Andrew Toolkit, the Andrew Message System or the Andrew User Environment. We particularly encourage submissions about research conducted and applications built using Andrew. This is your opportunity to demonstrate the innovative system that you have devised. \bold{WELCOME LINUX USERS} We would like to extend a warm welcome to all Linux users out there. Andrew is popping up on hundreds of Linux-based machines in many homes and businesses. You have no doubt begun to find many new uses for the system. Share your findings with us by submitting a paper on the subject, or just attend this two-day event to learn more about Andrew. \bold{IMPORTANT DATES, TIMES AND INFORMATION} Preliminary paper proposals: 31 May 1995 Paper proposal submissions: 25 July 1995 Acceptance: 11 August 1995 Final papers: 8 September 1995 Electronic submission and conference presentation in Andrew format is encouraged, but not required.

The story comes in two parts -- the second is part is what really prompted me to write, but I suspect they are related. \ 1. Sometime in the afternoon I was using the "xv" program to view some TIFs and write them as GIFs. The TIF was in /tmp and I wanted to write it to ~suthers/something. The xv file save dialogue does not have a place for typing in pathnames, so I went up to /, intending to select my way down through /afs, /afs/pitt.edu, /afs/pitt.edu/usr37 etc. However, when xv attempted to list the contents of the /afs directory, it "hung" (obviously, it was trying to contact all the /afs sites world wide, and experiencing delays). Recognizing that this was happening, I killed the xv process, and used cp to move the file from /tmp to ~suthers/something before proceeding with the conversion. That in itself makes me wonder whether there is a more efficent way to access a listing of /afs, which xv is not using. \ 2. Later in the day I had been asked to resubmit two postscript papers to a conference. I had about 15 minutes to get the corrections done in latex and to mail them out before I had to leave to pick up my child. Of course this is when I encountered the slowdown. All operations (starting latex, getting the ghostview menu to ask it to reload the new ps, etc.) took an unusually long time. Meanwhile, messages about having lost contact with various AFS sites around the world were being written to my console (see partial listing below) I am sure that the xv process that had been attemping to list /afs was long gone -- I checked with ps and saw nothing that might be accessing it. (Also, I killed all unneeded applications such as mosaic and tin, but it was still slow.) I asked John McNelis whether there was a local network problem. He checked, and there was not, though traffic was heavy. This leads me to wonder whether the AFS software retains connections to /afs/... sites once established, and periodically queries their status or does something equivalent that might cause a slowdown if sites or connections go down. \ \typewriter{\smaller{\smaller{~/text/conferences/1995/chi> \underline{afs: Lost contact with volume location server 137.208.3.33 in cell wu-wien.ac.at} ~/text/conferences/1995/chi> dvips -o learning.ps learning.dvi This is dvips 5.47 Copyright 1986-91 Radical Eye Software ' TeX output 1995.04.20:1727' -> learning.ps .

Hansen, Director This term I have amused myself by teaching the Software Engineering project course in the School of Computer Science here at Carnegie Mellon University. The field of software engineering deals with problems that arise when programs are large, when they involve many programmers, and when they exist over long periods of time; many examples may be taken from the history of the Andrew system. Consequently, the focus of Software Engineering 15-413 is---you guessed it---Andrew, or more specifically, Widgets for Andrew. The highest priority is production of those widgets needed to build the "forms" facility for the Web Browser project: text entry field, push buttons, and radio buttons. This approach has tied in very nicely with both our own continuing internal development of widgets and our work on a web browser for Andrew. The course has given us the opportunity to try a number of approaches we otherwise could not have. The 38 students in the course are organized into two "companies," each developing a set of widgets. Rather than have them build individual widgets, we've taken the approach of building a general widget driver framework to make widget construction easy. Each company is split into four teams with specific responsibilities: \indent{ }\indent{\italic{Integration Team} - manage the overall system organization, conduct system testing, and complete the documentation. }\indent{ \italic{Dataobject Team} - construct a generalized dataobject which manages a collection of "attributes" for each widget. \italic{View Team} - construct a generalized view driver which fetches attributes from the widget dataobject and makes the corresponding widget appear on screen. \italic{Widget Team} - write the resource files that contain the attributes needed for each particular widget.} The students spent the first half of the semester learning about Andrew and learning enough software engineering basics to be able to handle the project and design the software. Implementation and system integration are taking place during this second half of the course. What have I learned from this experience, you ask? In light of my experience with the development of the Andrew system, it is interesting to read and talk about formal software engineering methods. Some would have been of little use to us when the system was being built, but others could have contributed mightily to a more easily maintainable Andrew. It seems to me that smaller teams could have done the job faster. But then again, one of the most important lessons to be learned from a software engineering project course is how to work together in a group. The students have struggled some, but are really learning these lessons well. I have high hopes for the successful completion of a rudimentary widgets set from which we can further build. __________________________\subheading{ \bigger{News from the Consortium} }Susan Straub, System Administrator\subheading{ \subheading{ }}\bold{CONSORTIUM CONVERTS TO C++!} Since early 1995, the Consortium staff has been making full use of Andrew7.2 in C++. At the same time, Consortium members are taking full advantage of this latest version of the software. Members who have converted to using version 7.2 on at least some of their computers include IBM and BellSouth. If you are a member who would like to install Andrew7.2 at your workplace, please contact our system administrator, Susan Straub, at: tel: (412) 268-7326 fax: (412) 268-5571 email: susan@andrew.cmu.edu Please provide information about the system type(s) on which you will be installing Andrew so that we can guide you to the correct files. \ If you are not already a member and are interested in Andrew7.2, we encourage you to join us in our efforts to ensure that the system continues to be maintained and made available. If you would like to know more about becoming a member of the Consortium, please contact our assistant director, AnnMarie Zanger, at: tel: (412) 268-6710 fax: (412) 268-5571 email: az28@andrew.cmu.edu ________________________ \section{Software Developments }Andy Plotkin and Rob Ryan, Technical Staff \bold{Have You Picked Up our Latest Bug Fixes?} If you are among the few who are using both versions of our software, Andrew6 in C and Andrew7 in C++, a patch is ready and waiting for you via ftp. andrew.cmu.edu in pub/AUIS/patches/official/patch.633. This patch fixes a bug in the Andrew6 version of "figure" which prevents it from reading figures created with Andrew7. This latest fix will assist in your work on documents containing figures.\subheading{ }\bold{Printing Status} The PostScript printing system prints all the standard Andrew objects (text, figure, table, raster) and handles insets such as image, ps, null, link and eq, as reported previously. As planned, it now also handles special text features such as table of contents, index (invoke by setting print options) and full-page text layout (although this is still in process of being "road-tested"). The system is also capable of page layouts that adapt to the page size. You can get help when using the system by calling up the print and preview functions, and print setup dialog box. Help files will be added for typescript, messages and any other text-based applications that have their own print/preview options. \bold{Argument Lists} Work on the infrastructure needed for widgets has begun. In particular a mechanism for interfacing functions of various languages has been implemented and support for windows suitable for menucards has been added. _____________________________ \bold{\bigger{Enhancements in the Works}} \bold{The Linux Line} Terry Gliedt, Consultant The Linux version of Andrew continues to keep attracting new users. Feedback from these users, new and old alike, is that the tools quickly become popular once installed. Continuing efforts to improve Andrew are greatly appreciated. The one recurring complaint from Linux users about Andrew, however, is that EZ, our "word processor", does not contain all of the features typically available to desk-top publishers. Regrettably not, but typically the new user is willing to forego things like WYSIWIG editing in order to reap the advantages of Andrew's compound document architecture and tools. A re-release of the Andrew6.3 for Linux has been announced recently. This new Linux release was built with XFree3.1 (i.e. it is X11R6-based). This is becoming the standard version of X for Slackware and other Linux distributions. The package types remain largely the same: \bold{ auis63L4-wp} - basic word-processing system \bold{auis63L4-src} - tools for programming \bold{auis63L4-mail} - message system with MIME-compatible messages interface The \bold{-doc} and \bold{-dev} packages which were offered in the last (L3) release have been dropped in favor of a package containing the entire system: \bold{ auis63L4-full} - all of the above, including documentation and development files This package is the full ~40MB /usr/andrew tree that results when building Andrew. Because of its size, this 9MB file is only available at ftp.andrew.cmu.edu in /pub/AUIS/bin-dist/linux. The other three packages can also be found here and at sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/X11/andrew. \ \bold{ The WorldWideWeb Browser} Tom Neuendorffer, Consultant Andrew's own Web Browser is slated for release to our users very soon. A demo of the browser, which can be integrated into your Andrew User Interface System to work much like Mosaic or Netscape, was presented to the entire Consortium staff in March. The multi-threaded WWW library code released by CERN just a few months ago is integrated into the browser. This object, combined with the HTML editors already available to users (see /pub/AUIS/misc), keeps the Andrew system in sync with the newest, hottest arena in the computer world---the Web. \ ____________________ \bold{\bigger{Member Mentions}} \bold{BellSouth and Andrew} The Andrew User Interface System supports over 6000 users in viewing documents at BellSouth. Over the past year, BellSouth and the Andrew Consortium have worked together to convert the Andrew code used at all of its sites to C++. BellSouth has been the impetus behind the Consortium being able to offer better functionality in the system when searching through objects, in particular, through pushbuttons and tables. The system is also now better able to handle table insets. Other fixes include rewriting functions to improve the positioning of text and objects within windows. There is also support for highlighting colored text in the editor. All of this, thanks to the urging of BellSouth, one of a number of valued members of the Andrew Consortium. \begindata{bp,545635992} Version 2 n 0 \enddata{bp,545635992} \view{bpv,545635992,515,0,0} ___________\subheading{ \bigger{Features}} AnnMarie Zanger, Assistant Director\subheading{ } \bold{Conference Planning} The \italic{1995 Andrew Technical Conference} will be held in Pittsburgh during September this year. Mark your calendars now! The annual event will showcase the Andrew User Interface System and the WorldWideWeb, both as exclusive entities and as mutually-evolving vehicles, which improve users' ability to process information. We have selected "Andrew and the Web" as the theme of this year's conference because Carnegie Mellon University and the Andrew Consortium are at the forefront of developments on the Web. However, we also want to hear about all of those fine programming inventions created using Andrew alone as a tool. We look forward to a lively two-day mix of presentations, and as always, we have scheduled the Andrew Consortium Annual Meeting right in the middle. Look out for the formal Call for Papers to be released soon and please note the preliminary schedule below: Date: September 21-22, 1995 (Thursday and Friday) Place: Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania \ Sessions: "Andrew as a Tool": September 21, 1995 Annual Meeting of the Andrew Consortium: Evening of September 21, 1995 "Using Andrew and the Web": September 22, 1995 \bold{ Web Watch} The Andrew Consortium homepage address has been slightly simplified. We have dropped the ":8001" out of the URL. OLD: http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/atk-ftp/web/andrew-home.ht\ ml NEW: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/atk-ftp/web/andrew-home.html This change resulted from the reassignment of various web servers at the School of Computer Science - Carnegie Mellon University, where Andrew lives. The Andrew Consortium WWW homepage now links you into much more information from our FTP site. That information is also categorized more specifically for easier access. We hope that this helps you to quickly find the information you need. \bold{ }Just for fun, here are some handy Web searching tools, one of which was designed at CMU.

While Andy will be greatly missed, our congratulations are in order...he has just accepted a programming position at Magnet Interactive Studios in Washington, DC. Magnet is a multimedia design firm which produces games, multimedia business applications, and tables. He will be writing Macintosh versions of games, which is what he's always wanted to do. Andy is originally from our nation's capital and is looking forward to returning there. Thanks for all of your hard work to improve the Andrew system and good luck in your new endeavors, Andy! \italic{Terry Gliedt}, one of our long-time associates, has finished his tenure as a consultant on Linux systems for the Andrew Consortium. This change is of his own choosing; we will surely miss his fine work for us here. The news is not all bad though. Terry will be the new Director of Information Technology at a company called Communicating for America Network Services (CANS). He will be responsible for all of their WorldWide Web efforts on the Internet. Terry writes, "About a year ago I asked myself what I really wanted to be doing - and it was obvious to me. I wanted to do work on the Internet. I've been doing various kinds of work with networks at IBM and joining CANS allows me to continue that." He will continue to work from home, but his email address has changed. He can be found at tpg@cfa.org or via CANS' webpage at http://www.cfa.org. Thanks a million, Terry, for all your work on the Andrew User Interface System. \bold{Employment Opportunities }The Andrew Consortium has four programming positions open.

Thus, one could edit text that contains not only fonts and styles, but also embedded raster images, spreadsheets, drawing editors, equations, simple animations, etc. These embedded objects could themselves contain other objects, including text. ATK is an open system so programmers can create new objects that can be embedded as easily as those system-defined objects. The \italic{\bold{Andrew Message System} (\bold{\italic{AMS}})} provides a multi-media interface to mail and bulletin-boards. AMS supports several mail management strategies and implements many advanced features including authentication, return receipts, automatic sorting of mail, vote collection and tabulation, enclosures, audit trails of related messages, and subscription management. It also provides a variety of interfaces that support ttys and low-function personal computers in addition to the high-function workstations. }}}\ \begindata{bp,545759880} Version 2 n 0 \enddata{bp,545759880} \view{bpv,545759880,517,0,0} \bold{Andrew-Ready Platforms} Andrew has been used successfully on (at least) these platforms: \ IBM---RT AOS 3.4, RT AIX 2.2.1, RS/6000 AIX3.1, PS/2 AIX1.2 \ SUN---Sun3 3.5, Sun3 4.0, Sun4 4.0, Sun3 4.1, Sun4 4.1, Sun4Mach, Solaris DEC---Vax Ultrix 3.1, Vax Ultrix 4.2, Vax BSD, DEC MIPS, Pmax Mach Other---HP, SCO I386, SGI IRIX 4.0, Apollo, Macintosh II, MacMach, 486 Mach, Telmat, Linux \bold{Remote Demo Service} Try out Andrew from your own work station via the Remote Andrew Demo Service.

Fred Hansen ___________________ FACTS ON FILE ___________________ What is Andrew? Software Components Andrew-Ready Platforms Remote Andrew Demo Service The Source Code and Binary Distributions Become a Member of the Andrew Consortium Services and Offerings from the Consortium "Andrew in Print" "Andrew on Tape" Contact Information Andrew Is... Compound Document Architecture...Word Processor...Drawing Editor...Mail /Bulletin Board Reader, Writer, Manager...Spreadsheet / Table Editor...Widget Set...Application Builder...Scriptable...In C and C++...For X11 ...With a consistent, integrated user interface so you can create compound documents containing pictures, words, tables, graphs ... and more. The Andrew User Interface System is an integrated set of tools that allow you to create, use, and mail documents and applications containing typographically formatted text and embedded objects. AUIS or "Andrew" has three principal components: The Andrew User Environment (AUE) is an integrated set of applications beginning with a 'generic object' editor (ez), a help system, a system monitoring tool (console), an editor-based shell interface (typescript), and support for printing multi-media documents. \ The Andrew Toolkit (ATK) is a portable user-interface toolkit. \ It provides a dynamically-loadable, object-oriented environment wherein objects can be embedded in one-another. Thus, one could edit text that contains not only fonts and styles, but also embedded raster images, spreadsheets, drawing editors, equations, simple animations, etc. These embedded objects could themselves contain other objects, including text. ATK is an open system so programmers can create new objects that can be embedded as easily as those system-defined objects. \ The Andrew Message System (AMS) provides a multi-media interface to mail and bulletin-boards. AMS supports several mail management strategies and implements many advanced features including authentication, return receipts, automatic sorting of mail, vote collection and tabulation, enclosures, audit trails of related messages, and subscription management. It also provides a variety of interfaces that support ttys and low-function personal computers in addition to the high-function workstations. ______________________________ Components of the Andrew System The following components are available in Andrew 6.3 and later versions. Some respond to frequently requested applications in X, such as: \ word processor --> ez drawing editor --> figure mail and news reader --> messages font editor --> bdffont documentation browser --> help directory browser --> bush Andrew applications (graphic and interactive) bush - directory browser chump - schedule maintainer console - shell interface / terminal replacement ez - word processor and program editor bdffont - font editor (for fonts in bdf format) help - documentation browser (includes all AUIS help files) launch - provides a menu of AUIS applications messages - mail and news reader, manager, and composer pipescript - viewer useful as stdout prefed - preferences editor sendmessage - application for sending a message or news posting typescript - shell interface (terminal substitute) Graphical, interactive editors that are both applications and insets eq - equation inset fad - animation editor figure - drawing editor layout - inset for arbitrary layout of enclosed insets lset - display two adjacent insets ness - extension and string processing language org - display and edit hierarchies page - allow flipping between pages raster - editor for monochrome bitmapped images table - table / spreadsheet inset text - text, document, and program editor (the heart of ez and other applications) Commonly used non-interactive Andrew applications datacat - concatenate ATK files ezprint - print an ATK document nessrun - runs a Ness script (the extension and string processing language) preview - preview an ATK document on screen File format converters from ATK to: RTF, ASCII, PostScript, troff to ATK from: ppm, Scribe, RTF, troff, X window dump convertraster - various raster formats Embeddable insets not usually used as applications clock - analog clock eq - equations header - specify document headers and footers image - display images from many formats: jpeg, gif, tiff, ... link - hypertext-like link month - display calendar for a month note - annotation text - the text object itself timeoday - digital clock writestamp - time file was written Editing tools compchar - keyboard input of characters for European languages compile - support compilation and error review complete - filename completion for typescript dired - directory browser dsearch - dynamic search ezdiff - compare two ASCII files filter - process a region of a document through a shell command isearch - incremental search lookz - style table editor spell - spelling correction (uses ispell) Source text editing tools assembler, C++, C, Lisp, man pages, Modula, Modula-3, Pascal Tools for constructing insets and applications arb - ADEW application builder interface bison - GNU parser generator (enhanced) class - preprocessor for ATK object system header files createcon - ADEW tool to generate C code for interface createinset - create a prototypical inset under a new name doindex - classC postprocessor genmake - Makefile generator for classC genstatl - generate statically loadable application gentlex - lexical analyzer generator makedo - classC post processor to create objects runadew - runtime for ADEW application builder sym - symbol table object whichdo - find an inset on the CLASSPATH Additional insets available for building applications button, display text string, entry of labeled text string, four position switch, multiple buttons, multiple sliders, multiple string entry, on/off switch, slider, slider controlling array of strings, text list, thumb knob _______________________ Andrew-Ready Platforms Andrew has been used successfully on (at least) these platforms: \ IBM---RT AOS 3.4, RT AIX 2.2.1, RS/6000 AIX3.1, PS/2 AIX1.2 \ SUN---Sun3 3.5, Sun3 4.0, Sun4 4.0, Sun3 4.1, Sun4 4.1, Sun4Mach, Solaris DEC---Vax Ultrix 3.1, Vax Ultrix 4.2, Vax BSD, DEC MIPS, Pmax Mach Other---HP, SCO I386, SGI IRIX 4.0, Apollo, Macintosh II, MacMach, 486 Mach, Telmat, Linux ___________________ Remote Demo Service Try out Andrew from your own work station via the Remote Andrew Demo Service. You will need a host machine on the Internet running the X11 window system. You will be able to compose multimedia documents, navigate through the interactive Andrew Tour, and use the Andrew Message System to browse through a few of CMU's four thousand bulletin boards and newsgroups. To get started, simply run the following command on your machine: finger @atk.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.203.218). The remote demo system will give you further instructions. _____________________________________________ Accessing the Source Code and Binary Distributions Sources and binaries are available online via anonymous ftp from: ftp.andrew.cmu.edu (IP: 128.2.232.154) in pub/AUIS/.

By explicitly giving the display name (ie auishelp -display:inet.address:0) when starting auishelp from rxvt, auishelp starts correctly. \ If there is a way to alter the effect of the AUISHELP option on the ez menu so that the current display name is passed to auishelp the problem would be solved for the remote clients. I have no idea how the ez/Andrew handles menus but my guess is its fairly simple to configure. \ -------- Tom Ward \bold{Date}: Wed, 7 Jun 1995 15:33:06 -0500 (CDT) \bold{From}: Brian Capouch \bold{To}: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu \bold{Subject}: Where is "audiocompose?"

Stoica" \bold{To}: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu \bold{Subject}: Change X Interaction Manager to recognize different `modifier + key'? Hi, Following a suggestion provided kindly by Mr. Robert Ryan in response to a \ question I had on `comp.soft-sys.andrew', regarding customization of the \ keyboard for AUIS 6.3 under Linux (and possibly other systems as well), I \ started playing with the low level event handling in `.../atk/basics/x/*', \ namely in `xim.c'. Excerpts from the answer: Ryan> ............ Ryan> Ryan> The ctrl/shift-arrow bindings are not possible with AUIS 6.3. They are Ryan> supported only in AUIS 7.2.x. (Contact Ann Marie Zanger, Ryan> az28@andrew.cmu.edu, for availability information on 7.2.x) Ryan> Ryan> For someone familiar with X adding support for these bindings wouldn't Ryan> be too difficult. If anyone is interested look in atk/basics/x/xim.c. Ryan> AUIS 7.2.x binds the shift functions as follows: Ryan> XK_Home, "\\033_sL", Ryan> XK_Left, "\\033_sM", Ryan> ............ Well, I have to say that I am a CS student and I can not afford now spending \ approx. 200$ on the C++ version. So I have to rely on the second suggested option ( I do not even have a tape drive; coming very soon :-) ) To start with, I added appropriate keybindings tables to the one already \ existent: static struct keybinding \{ KeySym key; char *binding; \} keybindings[] = \{ XK_Home, "\\033H", /* esc H */ XK_Left, "\\033D", /* esc D */ ............. \} and I came with: static struct keybinding skeybindings[] = \{ /* for Shift-* */ XK_Home, "\\033_sL", XK_Left, "\\033_sM", ....... \} static struct keybinding ckeybindings[] = \{ /* for Ctrl-* */ \ XK_Home, "\\033_cL", XK_Left, "\\033_cM", \ ........ \} static struct keybinding akeybindings[] = \{ /* for Alt-* */ XK_Home, "\\033_mL", XK_Left, "\\033_mM", \ \} Now, in the `SetupDisplay' function, at the point where XRebindKeysym is used, I augmented the code with: .............. shift_mod = XK_Shift_L; ctrl_mod = XK_Control_L; alt_mod = XK_Alt_L; meta_mod = XK_Meta_L; ............... for (thisBinding = skeybindings; thisBinding < skeybindings + sizeof(skeybindings) / sizeof(struct keybinding); thisBinding++) \{ XRebindKeysym(xim2display(self), thisBinding->key, &shift_mod, 1, \ (unsigned char *)thisBinding->binding, 4); \} for (thisBinding = ckeybindings; thisBinding < ckeybindings + sizeof(ckeybindings) / sizeof(struct keybinding); thisBinding++) \{ XRebindKeysym(xim2display(self), thisBinding->key, &ctrl_mod, 1, \ (unsigned char *)thisBinding->binding, 4); \} for (thisBinding = akeybindings; thisBinding < akeybindings + sizeof(akeybindings) / sizeof(struct keybinding); thisBinding++) \{ XRebindKeysym(xim2display(self), thisBinding->key, &alt_mod, 1, \ (unsigned char *)thisBinding->binding, 4); \} for (thisBinding = akeybindings; thisBinding < akeybindings + sizeof(akeybindings) / sizeof(struct keybinding); thisBinding++) \{ XRebindKeysym(xim2display(self), thisBinding->key, &meta_mod, 1, \ (unsigned char *)thisBinding->binding, 4); \} ................. The last place where it seams that changes are appropriate (am I missing something ?) is in `HandleWindowEvent' at the point where `KeyPress' events are dealt with: .................. case KeyPress: if(!self->CurrentlyMapped) break; /* If we have a popup, IT gets the key event */ while (self->popup_active) self = self->popup_active; keyEvent = (XKeyEvent *) &event; lastEventTime = keyEvent->time; strp = str; length = XLookupString(keyEvent, str, KEYEXPANSIONSIZE, /* keysym*/ NULL, /* status = XComposeStatus */ NULL); if (length == 1 && keyEvent->state & Mod1Mask) enQuserKey(self, IM_METAESC); /* changed from '\\033'--bobg */ while (length-- > 0) enQuserKey(self, (unsigned char)*strp++); break; .................. At this point I am having trouble in seeing what exactly to modify in order to get any `modifier + key' recognized and then saved in the event queue. I looked in `.../atk/basics/common/*' too, and it seams that the code there will work as it is once `enQuserKey' does its job to enqueue the desired format for the bindings (that code looks only dependent on the programmed form of the bindings, and the action dispatch is made based on that strings) I will appreciate any comments on these. If a full patch on the current form of my `xim.c' file is desired, I can send it shortly. Thanks in advance.
