xmodmap

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I need to modify the behavior of some keys of my keyboard.
Should I use Xmodmap?

Typically
keycode 112 = Prior KP_Home Prior KP_Home Prior Prior

How can I do it 1) manually, 2) automatically?

Thank

 From 2008 or so. But might still be working:

Don't know about wayland, but on X11, I have a script in

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/99-mystuff.sh

which runs when X starts and uses the xinput tool to set mouse buttons,
not sure if the xinput tool is the right one for keyboard mapping these
days.
