I know the easy ways to remap caps lock, etc, but I haven't found out how to change my Menu key to be an additional Ctrl key. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Finally got it!

Maco was close. The solution is (in .Xmodmap):

remove Control = Control_R
keycode 135 = Control_R Control_R Control_R Control_R
add Control = Control_R

I'm kinda guessing based on how I've remapped Caps Lock before, but...

Create a ~/.Xmodmap file containing:

clear 135
keycode 135 = Control_R

I'm using 135 because that's the keycode xev told me on my keyboard when I hit menu. Yours may vary. Log out & back in to take effect.

setxkbmap -option ctrl:menu may work if this doesn't.

  • No dice. The clear errors it. When I just try: keycode 135 = Control_R Control_R Control_R Control_R It is labelled Control_R in xev, but is a "bad key" in control modifier when I xmodmap -pm I've looked around and tried things for most of the morning. Still no success.
