I want to make some keys on my DecStation 2100 produce strings similar to those produced by the rest of the keyboard, e.g. ^[[5~. Is xmodmap the way to do this? The line % xmodmap -e "keycode 142 = Escape bracketleft ..." does not work as it only binds escape. So there is obviously something else I am missing that the man pages does not explain. ANy help is appreciated. Please e-mail response. thanks rich

There is no global way of doing this in X. You'd really mess up some applications if you do it globally. You can do it in an application-dependent way, for applications that support it. For example, xterm supports string mapping through translation management. dxterm supports it through VT100/VT300 emulation. Other applications do similar things, in an application-dependent fashion.
