Understood, although just about anything is preferable to Delete :) Since Fn functions as a modifier, perhaps one of the Mod keys, e.g. Mod5 might be a better choice. As long as it can be distinguished from any other key, we can use xmodmap to map it to whatever we want (e.g. Control_L for me). > Can I see the output of 'setxkbmap -print' as well, please? xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+gb+inet(pc105)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; }; I get the same output regardless of whether X is started with or without an external keyboard plugged in (is the external keyboard even considered?).
