support for pc menu keycode (110)

[GooseYArd]

First, thanks for Amethyst- I am a long time xmonad user and although I like OSX it feels unusable after having grown accustomed to xmonad.

The problem I've run into with Amethyst is that I'm used to using the PC Menu (windows) as my fundamental option key for xmonad. On a Macbook I obviously don't have that key, but since I also remap caps lock to control, the L_Control key on the MBP gets very little use. I'm using KeyRemap4MacBook and PCKeyboardHack, and have set up the L_Control key to send code 110 (PC Menu). I'm not sure how to tell Amethyst to treat that keycode as an option key, and also I'm not sure whether this will work at all since I think I need Mission Control to switch desktops.

I suspect I may be going about this incorrectly- any advice appreciated!

Having set Caps to Cmd, I set my leftover key to be "Hyper": all the modifiers at once: Cmd-Ctrl-Shift-Alt.

No program I know of uses that combination as a modifier, which leaves me free to use it for window-manager-level tasks.

hm- the only problem I see there, at least with respect to the traditional xmonad keybindings, are that win-key and shift-win-key would ordinarily be mod1 and mod2. I guess I could give it a shot with Cmd-Ctrl-Alt and Shift-Command-Ctrl-Alt, since I'm definitely not using any of those combinations now. Lemme give that a shot first!
