[Sunhelp] How to add Sun keyboard functions ?

[Ben Dougherty]

you can use xmodmap.
If you type xmodmap -pk this will list all the keys and their key
mappings. e.g.

xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = BackSpace'

The above would assign keycode 22 to the BackSpace keysym.

You can use xev to get the keycodes from the key you wish to change.
I usually change the keys around the numpad to the sun function keys.
