I have a keyboard (Microsoft Wireless 800) which has an Insert key right
beside the Backspace and I keep hitting it by accident and changing the
insert mode of whatever I'm typing. I want to disable this key
completely as I can think of no circumstance in which it would ever be
useful. If it can't be disabled I would consider remapping it to a
second Backspace.
Any ideas? I'm using KDE under F21 but I would hope for a general
solution to this.
I would use xmodmap for this:
xmodmap -e "keycode <your_key_code_here> = NoSymbol"
(or something along these lines). You can find out the key code with xev.
Thanks, I'll try that.
Well it worked on a command line, but not in a browser window. I put it
in my .xsession file and logged out and in again, to no avail.
I'll ask again on the KDE list in case it's something KDE-specific.

Take a look at /etc/X11/Xmodmap file.
Looks like you could add the mapping to that, and it work change how
xserver sees the key.
Also, saw mention of the change not affecting the already loaded xserver
unless one also does xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap
Some time ago, I had machines with keyboard that had no insert key next to
the home key. Double sized DEL key. So I had mapped the menu context
button to be INSERT, but its been a while since I played with it.
Something to try.
Is there a way to alter the key mapping on the main text only console in
single user mode?
