Hello,
I use a Cherry G80-5000, which has 5 additional function-keys
(F13-F17) on the left side. The layout is like this:
xkeycaps -kbd CHERGODE
I like to bind a pipe/bar ("|") to F17.
By pressing F17 xev tells:
--->8---
KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x6600001,
root 0xea, subw 0x0, time 34016738, (-545,-52), root:(552,763),
state 0x0, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,

By releasing F17, no event is being generated.
As far as I can see, F17 (and F13-F16, too) has not been assigned
a seperate keycode. But pressing F17 simulates 2 KeyPress events of
other keys (Shift_L and F7). So, how can I assign a character to a
key without that key having an own keycode?
xmodmap -pke doesn't tell anything about F17.
Having read /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h I tried
xmodmap -e "keycode 0xffce = bar"
but without any effect.
Might the keyboard-controller itself generate the 4 events cited
above? Does the kernel really get the info of F17 being pressed?
How can I assign a bar ("|") to F17?
I run
X.Org X Server 1.7.7
Release Date: 2010-05-04
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
with Debian Squeeze.
In xorg.conf I have:
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
TIA
