 The relevant part is: So to get Unicode character U+ABCD you can
 directly use keysym 0x1000abcd.

Thanks a lot. I'd never heard of this feature (but I originally set up
my xmodmap settings for control characters more than 10 years ago, so
I wonder if the 0x1000abcd feature existed at that time...).

Also, as I'm currently on my Mac OS X machine, I've just seen that
Apple is using the UABCD form (which seems to be a name for the
0x1000abcd value).

 gdk_keyval_to_unicode() also supports this.  I've tried mapping to
 0x101 and this successfully passes a ^A in xterm, rxvt and GTK apps.
 Since this seems to be the appropriate way of doing it, I'm closing this
 bug.

I confirm that this works with both xterm and gnome-terminal.

Thanks again,

Bug#306554: gnome-terminal doesn't honor xmodmap settings

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: normal

With xmodmap, I defined:

keycode 100 = Left 0x0001

so that when I press Shift+Left, I get a Ctrl-A character.
Indeed xev says:

KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x581,
root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2207921486, (89,65), root:(348,250),
state 0x1, keycode 75 (keysym 0x1, (no name)), same_screen YES,
   ^^
XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  

and this works without any problem in xterm, rxvt, mlterm and emacs.
But gnome-terminal does nothing.
