One indication that it does not work is that when I run /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 116=degree' in F-9 the key to the right of the right ALT key produces a degree ° symbol.
The same command in F-10 makes it useless, that same key does nothing and the cursor down arrow key generates the degree symbol instead as well as no longer moving the cursor making it impossible to navigate though a file listing.
You're hardcoding a keycode number, but evdev uses different keycodes.

The correct keycodes can be displayed with "xev." I was able to make changes accordingly. Most important is keycode 66 which disables the "Caps Lock" key.
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 134=degree' /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 135=mu' /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 66=NoSymbol'
Thanks for the pointer. A simple solution but I have struggled with it for a while.
