...No there was a post earlier in the thread by some one else.

/ect/X11/xorg.conf
Code:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Keyboard0"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
   Option      "XkbModel" "pc102"
   Option      "XkbLayout" "gb" #xkeymap0
   Option       "XkbOptions"   "altwin:menu"
   Option       "XkbOptions"   "altwin:super_win"
EndSection


now the:

Code:

   Option       "XkbOptions"   "altwin:menu"
   Option       "XkbOptions"   "altwin:super_win


Options get lost when you go to another computer where xorg generates a new xorg.confg. So what file do I need to edit to keep those options?

I haven't had a proper look at how it works, but I suspect you could either add them to this part of /usr/sbin/xorgwizard (in which case they'd have to be properly quoted)
Code:
    if [ "$XSECTION" = "InputDevice" -a "$IDENTIFIER" = "Keyboard0" ] ; then
     TEMPSECTION="$TEMPSECTION
   Option      \"XkbRules\" \"xorg\"
   Option      \"XkbModel\" \"pc102\"
   Option      \"XkbLayout\" \"$XKEYMAP\" #xkeymap0"

Or maybe you could add an InputDevice section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf0

I know it seems simple, but as a work around you could just create a base xorg.conf with the options you want and then copy it over when switching to a different computer.

This is being a right pain. I can't find any documentation on how I can have the windows and menu keys enabled at the same time! In-fact the Xorg website is awful to browse! Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Btw how do I set/(does one already exist?) a hotkey for the right click menu?

I know but If I can only have the menu key or the windows keys then I would like the windows keys with a hotkey for the right click menu function, But I prefer to get both working.

I think even if your keyboard didn't physically have a menu key you could use xmodmap to use another key for one.

Say you want to use the Print Scrn key:
- open a terminal
- run
Code:
xev
(Not in many recent puppies - get it at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=244431#244431)
- press the Print Scrn key and see what keycode it says is assigned to that key. For me it is 111.
- put a line in ~/.Xmodmap like this and save the file
Code:
keycode 111 = Menu

- reboot the computer (or probably just restart X, but I'm not certain), or run (IIRC)
Code:
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
