I don't know whether this is due to my hardware, or because of a different version of crunchbang. In any case, here is the solution I needed to remove 'ISO_Level3_Shift' which was assigned to AltGr I used the following ~/.Xmodmap to get it to work remove mod1 = Super_R remove mod1 = ISO_Level3_Shift keycode 108 = Super_R add mod4 = Super_R Hope this helps someone Alt_R wasn’t defined.

In any case, here is the solution
I needed to remove ‘ISO_Level3_Shift’ which was assigned to AltGr

I used the following ~/.Xmodmap to get it to work

remove mod1 = Super_R
remove mod1 = ISO_Level3_Shift
keycode 108 = Super_R
add mod4 = Super_R

Hope this helps someone

Worked 100% on my old T40. Hey, Thanks much for the tip on the super-key remapping. Worked 100% on my old T40.

Sadly, since I wrote that post, my T43 finally gave up (backlight issue) after a long and productive life. I'll really miss that laptop but I've replaced it with a Lenovo x301 which ... ta da ... finally features a "Windows" key! Thanks ted, glad it worked for you on the T41.

Worked for me on an IBM Thinkpad T41. BTW I didn't need to reboot, just log out and log back in. Thank you for the quick and easy instructions! Worked for me on an IBM Thinkpad T41.
