Struggling to edit keybindings

I'm struggling to remap some of my keys on my Lenovo i7 Ideapad, and I was wondering if I could get some help.

I tried following along with this guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_ … figuration

However, I wasn't able to find much success.

I've created a personal.map, in /usr/local/share/kbd/keymaps, and I've also coppied the us.map.gz from/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty, and gunzipped it in the new folder.
Here's my personal.map file:
`# my map

include "us.map"

keycode    191 = Down
keycode 212 = Delete`

the odd thing is that when I run dumpkeys, I can see that it lists keycode 191 as Down and 212 as Delete, though when I use xev, it still intreprets them as their original values (XF86TouchpadToggle, and XF86WebCam respectively), is there something I'm missing?

Re: Struggling to edit keybindings

The wiki page you linked to is for console keys (the TTY), yet you mention xev, which suggests you want to configure keys in X. Use this page:
