What are the recommendations ?
I seem to have luck putting .sh files in the directory
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/
Of course, those files will run for all users (which
isn't a problem if there is only one user :-).
I think modern X11 honours ~/.xinitrc.d also. Certainly on this Mac (haven't
got a handy Linux desktop to test with at present).
Be sure to make it an executable script with the #!/bin/sh
line at the top.
Indeed, if only to make your editor syntax aware. Though I think these files
are sourced because you can set environment variables in them and have them
stick. Eg source ~/.profile from one.
And yes, xmodmap is probably the go, _unless_ you want the key mapping to apply
only to one app (eg xterm). To the latter, xterm has key mappings available in
its .Xdefaults parameters. For example, my xterm stuff has this at the bottom:
XTerm*.VT100.Translations: #override \n\
<KeyPress>F1 : string(0x1b) \n \
<KeyPress>F10 : secure() \n \
<KeyPress>KP_End : scroll-forw(100,page) \n \
<KeyPress>KP_Prior : scroll-back(1,halfpage) \n \
<KeyPress>KP_Next : scroll-forw(1,halfpage) \n\
<KeyPress>End : scroll-forw(100,page) \n \
Ctrl<KeyPress>Up : scroll-back(1,line) \n \
Ctrl<KeyPress>Down : scroll-forw(1,line) \n\
<KeyPress>Prior : scroll-back(1,halfpage) \n \
<KeyPress>Next : scroll-forw(1,halfpage) \n\
Meta<KeyPress> : string(0x1b) insert() \n\
Alt<KeyPress> : string(0x1b) insert() \n\
<KeyPress>BackSpace : string(0x08) \n \
Shift<Btn1Down> : ignore() \n\
Shift<Btn1Up> : insert-selection(PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0)\n\
<Btn2Down> : ignore() \n\
<Btn2Up> : insert-selection(PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0)\n\
Shift<Btn2Down> : ignore() \n\
Shift<Btn2Up> : string("us ") insert-selection(PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0) string("\n") \n\
~Ctrl ~Meta<Btn3Down> : ignore()\n\
~Ctrl ~Meta<Btn3Up> : ignore()\n
! XTerm*VT100.translations: #override Shift<Key>'F1':insert("hi guys")
! XTerm*VT100.translations: #override Ctrl<Key>'U':uphalfscreen()\nCtrl<Key>'D'downhalfscreen()
Note that the last two lines are commented out experiments.
