Mostly. But since there's a finite number of keys on a keyboard in
general, rebinding a key has consequences and you may want to shift the
old function on a new key etc.
Also, the keycode while often similar from one keyboard to the other,
are often different notably on the modifier keys.
So you will have to use xev(1), to find out the keycodes of the keys you
want to bind to the symbols, then map them to symbols:
keycode 37 = Multi_key
keycode 133 = Alt_L
keycode 64 = Meta_L
keycode 65 = space space digitspace digitspace
keycode 108 = Meta_R
keycode 134 = Mode_switch
keycode 135 = Hyper_R
keycode 105 = Control_R
! It's on the Print/Sys_Req key:
keycode 127 = Super_R Super_R
then you must map the symbols of the modifier keys to the modifier byte:
clear Shift
clear Lock
clear Control
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
clear Mod3
clear Mod4
clear Mod5
!!! In order of bits:
add Shift = Shift_L Shift_R
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L Control_R
add Mod1 = Num_Lock
add Mod2 = Alt_L Alt_R Mode_switch
add Mod3 = Meta_L Meta_R
add Mod4 = Super_L Super_R
add Mod5 = Hyper_L Hyper_R
and that's it. Notice how alt and meta are different modifiers.
