Specifying Key Remapping Expressions
Whether you remap a single key "on the fly" with a command-line entry or install an entire new
keyboard map file, you must use valid expressions in your specification, one expression for each
remapping.
A valid expression is any one of the following:
Valid xmodmap Expressions
To do this... Use this expression...
Assign a key symbol to a keycode
keycode <keycode> = <keysym>
Replace a key symbol expression with another.
keysym <keysym> = <keysym>
Clear all keys associated with a modifier key.
clear <modifier>
Add a key symbol to a modifier.
add <modifier> = <keysym>
Remove a key symbol from a modifier.
remove <modifier> = <keysym>
keycode
Refers to the numerical value that uniquely identifies each key on a keyboard. Values may be in
decimal, octal, or hexadecimal.
keysym
Refers to the character symbol name associated with a keycode; for example, KP_Add.
modifier
Specifies one of the eight modifier names: Shift, Control, Lock, Mod1, Mod2, Mod3, Mod4, and
Mod5.
On Hewlett-Packard keyboards, the lock modifier is set to the
key. However, any of the modifiers
can be associated with any valid key symbol. Additionally, you can associate more than one key symbol
with a modifier (such as Lock = Shift_R and Lock = Shift_L), and you can associate more than one
modifier with a key symbol (for example, Control = Caps_Lock and Lock = Caps_Lock).
