.Xmodmap for Thinkpad x60s
Like any other notebook my Thinkpad x60s has some buttons that don’t appear on a standard IBM keyboard. Most of them are accessable by holding the “Fn”-Key. But only a few are useable without the famous tpb-deamon. There are only six keys that can be mapped to an identifier using ~/.Xmodmap. So here’s my small and hopefully semantically correct Xmodmap:
keycode 233 = XF86ApplicationRight
keycode 234 = XF86ApplicationLeft
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
The first two lines represent the buttons you always hit accidentally when moving the cursor. They are located above the buttons “Right” and “Left”. I use them for switching my workspace. The other four are accessable via “Fn” and the arrow keys. Amarok and maybe some other player have already preconfigured the corresponding shortcuts.
The other special keys are only useable with tpb.
