Supposedly keycodes 112 - 127 are unused so you can do: According to dumpkeys on my system though, everything up to 119 is used setkeycodes e05e 120 You can then use key 120 for something in loadkeys. To make it a modifier key I guess you have to look at how alt and such are defined and do something similar.

Suppose I figure this out, I will know how to refer to the key.

I will not know how to map the key to a function calling up "ctrlaltdel"; I will only know how to map the key to such madeup functions as "Console_1".

Well 'Boot' is the codeword for reboot it seems. There are keywords for a few things, but I have no idea if you can add any.

Please help.

I have tried...
