remaping F5 keys with Refresh function...beside Numeric one

pk flag

I bought a 68 keys keyboard that is great, only its Esc-Functions Top keycaps line was not working well. After setting up an xmodmap, pretty much anything got fixed.

Now i have an /.Xmodmap script file that solved most all bugs. The F* keys and Number keys are on the same keycaps so I had to pickup a value for a normal key press. (I do not see a 'Numeric' keycap on this kb)

So I opted for 'Numbers' to b returned when key is pressed, so..

  • Key = numbers.
  • Shift + key = same key symbols @#$ etc..

Question : Now, how does one get access to the F* action such as F5 (refresh) from there ? I have tried several combination with no succes : Alt+shit+key / Alt+key / alt+ctrl+shift

Bellow is the partially working xmodmap content :

keycode  69 = 3 numbersign F3 F3 F3 F3 XF86Switch_VT_3
keycode  70 = 4 dollar F4 F4 F4 F4 XF86Switch_VT_4
keycode  71 = 5 percent F5 F5 F5 F5 XF86Switch_VT_5

what is the correct key combination to get acces to the 3rd column ? F5 column

a 2nd point [bug?] is that the F12 keys is always returning : '+' as the first value when key is pressed down.

keycode  96 = plus equal F12 F12 F12 F12 XF86Switch_VT_12
keycode  96 = equal plus F12 F12 F12 F12 XF86Switch_VT_12

I am trying to return '=' as the first value and '+' as the shift+key..

  • Any idea if that should works or if its a bug ?

Thanks for all help ! terii Kubuntu 21.10 x86_64

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.
