I have a keyboard with broken Shift button, but I have some additional buttons like Mail, Home etc.
I want to make my Mail button as Shift button (because I have used Windows and software for my keyboard wich makes it).
I have almost read this answer, but it isn't enough. As I understand, I need to write in .xbindkeysrc something like
"xte 'keydown Shift'"
"xte 'keydown XF86Mail'"
"xte 'keyup Shift'"
"xte 'keyup XF86Mail'"
and it didn't work. But the code below works in that way: after press and release Mail button both Shift buttons still be pressed (as I have checked using a virtual keyboard).
"xte 'keydown Shift_L'"
XF86Mail
How can I use one of the additional buttons as Shift?
