I prefer using xkb to define my keyboard mappings (though I still far from understand it fully). To do what you want in xkb you would lines similar to:
key <I166> { [XF86Copy ] }; key <I167> { [XF86Past ] }; to your .xkbmap file that you can then load through: xkbcomp ~/.xkbmap :0 Making your programs recognize XF86Copy and XF86Past is another problem that you still have to deal with.
