Hi Thanh,

Just add the following to your /etc/mol/molrc.input config file:

remap_xkey:      64     58                      # Left Alt/Option
remap_xkey:     115     55                      # Left Command (Clover)

The numbers 64 and 115 may be different on your particular system.
You can use xev to check (just run xev, place the cursor in the box,
press the desired key, and then check the keycode that xev prints on
the terminal).
