Sun keys and xmodmap

I've tried to get my extra sun keys on this keyboard to work, but apparently you can't make them do 2 key combinations, say "^c" or something like that, oh well.

Anyway I've bound the @ and \ keys as copy and undo respectively because the altgr key on the sun keyboard is the rightmost one on the bottom row.


I tried to remap the backspace key to backslash/pipe key and that works great! Unfortunately remapping that key to the backspace fails miserably. No matter whether I bind it as less or greater it puts less, and there is no altgr functionality so bleh. Same unusefulness goes on with the tilde and escape key swapping. I guess somethings were just never meant to be, at least I'm used to those key positions and use them more often anyway, just thought it'd be cool to get the sun layout going on with my laptop. sigh


*I use the french canadian keyboard so it's the <> key, coincidentally the #|\ key is moved from the leftmost to the rightmost on the sun layout, heh.
