My laptop's "m" key doesn't work anymore and I want to know how to re-map it. In example: to make it work with the AltGr or any other key that I don't use that much.

Greetings.

P.S. Ubuntu is working normally but the "m" key is broken in my keyboard so I have to copy/paste it in order to write and it is tedious. Thanks in advance for your help.

You may want to check XKeyCaps utility launchpad page.

XKeyCaps is a GUI application (a front end for xmodmap) which does exactly what you want to do with the help of an on screen keyboard where you can remap keys.

You can also find video on YouTube runing the application on Ubuntu demonstrating its use.

  • You can try some of the layouts to find a matching one. – Stef K Aug 21 '13 at 23:06
