XModMap help

English Applications

I have a new keyboard to help my RSI. I need to swap Left arrow cursor with Delete.

I type:

:~> xmodmap -pke | grep Del
keycode 91 = KP_Delete KP_Decimal KP_Delete KP_Decimal
keycode 119 = Delete NoSymbol Delete

~> xmodmap -pke | grep Left
keycode 23 = Tab ISO_Left_Tab Tab ISO_Left_Tab
keycode 83 = KP_Left KP_4 KP_Left KP_4
keycode 113 = Left NoSymbol Left

I’ve tried various combinations of xmodmap -e to no avail. Would really appreciate a hand.

I added to my ~/.Xmodmap
keycode 113=Delete
keycode 119=Left

In order to persist my

~/Xmodmap,

I’ve added a line to my

~/.bashrc

I’m happy with my new solution, but it does mean I have to open a terminal to effect my modified key layout. I’ve read the xmodmap is deprecated in favour of XKB X11.
I’ve spent a while trawling the vast array of information and suggestions already available for such a fix. I’m wondering if anyone has a precise SUSE fix that I can use to effect my
change?

My version of Linux is : SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, x86 & x86-64
I use a UK keyboard layout, and this is the 104 key version.

Thanks!
