>Description:
X11 works well on both my PowerBook 160 and 520 (pkgsrc/x11/tinyx-wscons)

However with the stock Xorg or TinyX, Option is mapped as the meta key and meta plus click for both ALTXBUTTONS and regular Option-left/right
arrow key sequences result in undesired effects of meta being held.

This changes the intention of the emulated mouse click.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try Xorg or tinyx-wscons with a one button mouse.
>Fix:
My proposal is to change the emulmod key from Option to Command so emulated mouse buttons would be Command+Left/Right arrow or Command+1/2/3 etc and brightness would be command+Up/Down Arrows as the
Apple/Command key is not referenced as much in X11.

Thus emulated mouse clicks work closer to their intended purpose.
