Are you sure about the L/R Ctrl part? $ xmodmap -pm xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d) In xev also, the two Ctrl keys show up as different keypresses. So you can, say, switch off Ctrl_R with xmodmap -e "clear control" xmodmap -e "add control = Control_L" Andras
