While looking for something else, I stumbed upon the /etc/X11/Xmodmap file. It seems to define certain keystrokes and their functions: ! keycode 22 = BackSpace ! keycode 107 = Delete I'd like to define certain non-English keyboard shortcuts to translate to their English equivelents, could I do that with this file? For instance, I'd like CTRL-ה to be sent to the system as CTRL-V, as ה and V share a key. What would be the proper syntax? Thanks in advance.
