1. $ xev
1.1. move mouse pointer into xev window
1.2. press the left 'ctrl' key
1.3. note the key_sym_ (the name, not its hexadecimal representation)
of the last event in the console output (KEYSYM_CTRLL)
1.4. press the right 'ctrl' key
1.5. see step 1.3 (KEYSYM_CTRLR)
1.6. press the left 'apple' key
1.7. note the key_code_ (the decimal value, not its string
representation) of the last event in the console output
(KEYCODE_APPLEL)
1.8. press the right 'apple' key
1.9. see step 1.7 (KEYCODE_APPLER)
2. $ man xmodmap
2.1. read it
2.2. create a file ".Xmodmap" with the two entries
keycode KEYCODE_APPLEL = KEYSYM_CTRLL
keycode KEYCODE_APPLER = KEYSYM_CTRLR
substituting the names in CAPITAL by the values noted during step 1.
3. read http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2003/08/msg00195.html
starting from the line "Ok, just for the records.. The debian way(tm)
to invoke xmodmap:".
