(Using 10.10)
Hey there,
I've successfully managed to remap my character keys according to my needs (by modifying /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/), however I can't seem to be able to change my function keys there. What I'd like to do is redefine the whole keyboard, including the ctrl, menu, alt, ... keys. I would especially like to map the menu key to be the right super key. (It's a pity the keyboard preferences menu doesn't provide a "define it yourself" option, but only - in my eyes - pretty useless alternatives)
There are some workarounds on the forums here, but they seem to solve very specific problems such as a stuck super key, or defining the F keys to execute some command, which isn't exactly what I need :\
Thanks in advance,
David
Edit: Thanks to georgemc's link (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1400641#post1400641) the problem has been solved, see post #5 for my personal rough explanation. (I changed menu to right super)
