Yeah, the fn-thing isn't so convienient. Do you have another idea for getting these? Or if they're even necessary? I know that Alt_R is often used for AltGr on European keyboards, but are the others used in a standard way? > > Also, does it matter if X maps a key that doesn't exist on the > > installed keyboard? > > Yes, you can't use it. :) Well, yeah. :) But if the key is not really useful (say, Insert), I assume there's a minimal penalty for keeping the map around with no real need, but I would live if I couldn't use Insert.
