Cannot disable key with xmodmap

dz flag

My keyboard has a stuck end key (which is also numpad 1). I tried disabling it with the command:

xmodmap -e 'keycode 87 = '

I also tried:

xmodmap -e 'keycode 87 = 0x0000'

I checked xmodmap -pke and xev and keycode 87 is the correct one for this key.

After running these commands, the effects of the stuck key stop temporarily, but eventually come back.

For example pages scroll to the end, etc. Also, xev shows events for keycode 87.

Is there a way to stop the end key from being triggered at all? Is xmodmap the only way to do this?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
