I'd like to be able to specify that CNTR/` (Control/quoteleft) should generate the character code 036(8) (the same as is already generated by Control/circumflex). I note that one can specify both the unshifed and shifted codes for various keys with xmodmap. It would seem natural to be able to specify the control translation also. Now granted, this is a stupid request, but is it possible to do this with xmodmap??? Casey

In X11, how keys are interpreted is a client, not a server function. You need to mess with xterm (or whatever client is seeing the keys). David.

You might want to try adding a translation resource for xterm (actually, for the class XTerm) that does what you want. Jim
