How to remap XF86Sleep to different scancode/keycode
On my laptop, there is misbehaving sleep key, disguised as right backspace. No issue with sleep key, I like that, but not with title "backspace". It confuses strangers. Fn-that key generates backspace, alright, but keycap imprint gives opposite hint. So I'd like to remap that. However I cannot find a path from xev to some key definition, so that I can update /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/... Can someone advice?
The path probably starts with xev, as mentioned:
KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x6400001,
root 0x22a, subw 0x0, time 13419440, (-485,615), root:(377,1075),
state 0x10, keycode 150 (keysym 0x1008ff2f, XF86Sleep), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
but I probably should type something like key <TLDE> however I cannot find it's definition anywhere like in keycodes/xfree86. Can you advice?
