I'd like to have easy access to "Home" and "End" behavior by remapping Alt_L + "Prior" (pageup) and Alt_L + "Next" (pagedown).
According to these :
$ xmodmap -pm
xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x69)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb)
I tried :
xmodmap -e "keycode 112 mod1 = Prior Home"
xmodmap -e "keycode 117 mod1 = Next End"
Unfortunately, this is not working at all.
I read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmodmap but didn't helped me much, is this remapping at least possible?
Edit : added the quotes for readability

Based on what the man page says, that should map key 112+Shift to Home, not Alt.

The accepted answer of this topic misled me : http://askubuntu.com/questions/24916/ho … rtain-keys
If the key you are remapping has different behavior depending on a state ( like how the keys in the numeric keyboard depend on Num_Lock) you simply have to do xmodmap -pm to get a list of modifiers and then do:
xmodmap -e "KEYCODE MODIFIER = behaviour behaviour_with_modifier"
Suppose, for example, that you want to get a period instead of a comma on the numeric keyboard (useful for most programmers), but you want to keep the "delete" behavior when numlock is off.
xmodmap -e "keycode 91 mod2 = KP_Delete period"
Any idea?
