Remapping keys using xmodmap - "home" key
Hi all,
I'm running Xandros linux on an EeePC, and I'm trying to remap some of the keyboard keys, with varying success. The reason is that the right shift key and fn key are less-than-ideally placed. I've physically swapped the right-shift and up keys, so that my layout now looks like this: -----------------shift--up menu--left--right-down where "menu" is the "context menu" key. I used the following startup script to remap them: #!/bin/sh # set up keyboard to exchange the Shift and Up keys, and the Down and Right keys xmodmap -e "keycode 62 = Up" # Shift => Up xmodmap -e "keycode 109 = Prior" # Shift-shift => PgUp xmodmap -e "keycode 98 = Shift_R" # Up => Shift xmodmap -e "keycode 99 = Control_R" # PgUp => Shift-shift xmodmap -e "keycode 104 = Right" # Down => Right xmodmap -e "keycode 105 = End" # PgDn => End xmodmap -e "keycode 102 = Down" # Right => Down xmodmap -e "keycode 103 = Next" # End => PgDn xmodmap -e "add shift = Shift_R" # Make the new Shift key actually do shifting xset r 62 # Make the new Up key autorepeat xset r 109 # Make the new PgUp autorepeat xset -r 98 # Prevent the new Shift key from autorepeating ----------- This script works perfectly. However, I'm also trying to use xmodmap to allow me to use the left/home, right/end, up/pageup, and down/pagedown keys with the menu key as a mode-switcher (i.e menu+up=pageup). I'm using this script (modified from a script posted on another eeeuser.com): # fix key mappings for Menu + up/down/left/right xmodmap -e "keycode 117 = Mode_switch" xmodmap -e "keycode 97 = Left NoSymbol Home" xmodmap -e "keycode 62 = Up NoSymbol Prior" xmodmap -e "keycode 104 = Right NoSymbol End" xmodmap -e "keycode 102 = Down NoSymbol Next" I appended this to my existing startup script, and it *almost* does everything I need. The one problem: The "home" key has stopped working. The left key works fine (home is fn+left). The left/home key's physical position has not been altered, so I thought that xmodmap -e "keycode 97 = Left NoSymbol Home" would do the trick, but no joy... If anyone can shed some light on this, it would make me a very happy camper! Thanks in advance, Lee |
