remap ALT + R/LArrow

Is it possible to remap ALT+R_Arrow to End and ALT+L_Arrow to Home? I tried with

xmodmap -e 'keycode 114 = Right NoSymbol End'

but it doesn't seem to work.

Re: remap ALT + R/LArrow

You could try setting Alt+Right and Alt+Left as global shortcuts to execute xte "key End" and xte "key Home" respectively. Not very elegant, but should work.
Edit: xte is part of community/xautomation

Re: remap ALT + R/LArrow

Works for me. I'm using openbox, so I put this in my rc.xml

<keybind key="A-Left">
	<action name="Execute"><command>xte "key Home"</command></action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-Right">
	<action name="Execute"><command>xte "key End"</command></action>
</keybind>

Which did the trick, although it doesn't work in firefox for some reason.

I tried on gnome and it does nothing (unless I'm doing something wrong).

In firefox Alt+Arrows is for back/forward navigation.
