Only one hand required!
Problem is the CTRL+arrow does not have an action associated with it. After running xev, it seems the system sees it as 2 separate keypresses rather than a single function. How can this be changed?
Basically I would like to associate CTRL+Arrow to do PageUp/Down, or map the tiny CTRL button to be a Fn key instead.
I suggest that you run "xev", and then take note of how is your "tiny CTRL button" identified while you press it.
Next step is to discover where to associate the action PageUp with the arrow key. That is, on .xinitrc (or whatever), you should check if this "tiny CTRL" changes the action of a given key. Just check, for example, by redefining key "a" to produce letter "b", on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th position.
