Many thanks to Casper Dik who came up with the solution: %xmodmap -e 'clear mod3' You can find out that mod3 is associated with the Num_Lock key by running xmodmap without switches or arguments: % xmodmap xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0xe8), Shift_R (0xec) lock control Control_L (0xe7), Control_R (0xeb), Control_L (0x40) mod1 Alt_L (0xe9) mod2 Mode_switch (0xed) mod3 Num_Lock (0x5a) mod4 Meta_L (0xea), Meta_R (0xee) mod5 >X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 2.2 >X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.2.0.14 >Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 17:21:08 -0600 >To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org >From: Gary P Carr <gcarr@lanl.gov> >Subject: How Can I Disable "NumLock" >Cc: gcarr@lanl.gov >X-PMX-Version: 4.7.0.111621 > >I have tried using xmodmap to reassign the keycode for the NumLock key: > >xmodmap -e "keysym Num_Lock = BackSpace" > >After that the NumLock key does indeed do a backspace.
