I have Solus installed on a MacBook Air (2008). The keyboard lacks PgUp, PgDn,Home, End, and Delete keys, so I want to assign the commands for those to KbdBrightnessUp, KbdBrightnessDown, alt+KbdBrightnessUp, alt+KbdBrightnessDown, and Eject, respectively.

What are the commands and how can I do this?

You could check the keycodes that are sent by these keys using xev and then remap them using xmodmap, like:

xmodmap -e 'keycode XX = Prior'
xmodmap -e 'keycode YY = Next'

where Prior and Next are what you mean by PgUp and PgDn.

  • Thank you! This worked for PgUp, PgDn, and Delete, but I can't seem to get it working for Home and End.

  • Note that Prior and Next do not necessarily equate page up and page down, and are actually mean to be more generic. They are just set to the same keycodes in /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h. If you truly only want page up and page down, you need to use Page_Up and Page_Down.
