You can probably just make the changes you want in a new (hidden) file
in the user directory called .axisrc

http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/axis.html#_axisrc

There are some specific instructions here, but the mail archiving
software has eaten the keycodes, those quotes should not be empty.

The source 
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/f6dbef332d8f88d29e3ff690f6a7338cc0e9c7e5/src/emc/usr_intf/axis/scripts/axis.py#L3503
shows the sort of format needed to determine the key codes. And
instruction on how to get the codes are in the email link.
But, you only really need to know <Up> and <KeyRelease-Up> with <Down>
/ <KeyRelease-Down> <Left> / <KeyRelease-Left> and <Right> /
<KeyRelease-Right>
