Got some labs that have Logitec Internet keyboards that for some reason don't have an insert key above the regular arrow keys. For some reason it has a large delete key?
With most programs one can turn off num lock and use that insert key, but had the windows tn5250 program that would not, so had to come up with a reg hack, and mapped the context menu button next to Ctrl on Rigth to Insert.
Was looking to do something similar for something similar for linux, since machines also have Fedora 12.
Thanks.

xev should give you keycodes and then in a script I do something like:
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 134=degree'
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 135=mu'
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 66=NoSymbol'
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 133=cent'

Tried that on my home machine, and it remapped the menu key to the Insert, so will try it on my lab machines on Monday. Thanks.
