.Xmodmap with Xquartz
using XQuartz (2.6.0), you have to clear Mod1 in order for the Super and Alt keys to take effect. This configuration requires that "Option keys send Alt_L and Alt_R" checkbox is set in Preferences.
clear Mod1
clear Mod4
clear Mod2
keycode 66 = Alt_L
keycode 63 = Super_L
add Mod2 = Alt_L
add Mod4 = Super_L
In XQuartz, I also had to disable "Enable key equivalents under X11" to get mod+space to change xmonad's tiling algorithm.
---------------
Without Mod1 cleared:
dreeve@puggle ~ $ xmodmap 1.8.7
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 Alt_L (0x42), Alt_R (0x45)
mod2 Super_L (0x3f), Meta_R (0x47)
mod3
mod4
mod5
