I solved this by adding
control keycode 102 = F50
control keycode 107 = F51
string F50 ="\033[40~"
string F51 ="\033[41~"
to the keymap I use (the one specified in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard).
Well, doing exactly that is not really a good thing (you are not
supposed to modify the distributed files, right?), so actually I have
these lines in the file /usr/lib/kbd/keytables/mylocal.map; my
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard is
KEYTABLE="/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/ru1.map"
MYKEYTABLE="/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/mylocal.map"
and the relevant part of /etc/rc.d/init.d/keytable is
loadkeys $KEYTABLE
loadkeys $MYKEYTABLE
This works fine, except it confuses XConfigurator (or whatsitcalled,
don't have it in right now), so to run that you need to comment out
"MYKEYTABLE=" statement, and uncomment it back when the job is done.
In .emacs (I use xemacs) the lines that take care of this are
(define-key global-map "\033[40~" [chome])
(define-key global-map "\033[41~" [cend])
(global-set-key [chome] 'beginning-of-buffer)
(global-set-key [cend] 'end-of-buffer)
(Where did I pick that? Somewhere in HOWTOs I think. Thanks to the
guys that wrote them!).
Best wishes,
Oleg
