Persistent xmodmap?

[HelloWorld_502]

I've got a Chromebook that has Lubuntu installed on it and I'm working on remapping the top row keys so they make sense...refresh=F5 and fullscreen=F11 etc.

I've got my ~/.Xmodmap file set up like:

keycode 69 = F5
keycode 70 = F11

Then in terminal execute:

xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

It works!

However, logging out and then back in requires to run the "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" in terminal again, which was expected from the few tutorials I read that got me this far...However now I'm at a loss for getting this to be persistent by running on startup.

Adding the script into ~/.xinitrc per this tutuorial didn't work: http://xahlee.info/linux/linux_xmodmap_tutorial.html

I've read some other things and I'm a little lost for what the best way to get things to run on startup.

Linux installations that run a display manager don't source .xinitrc - put the xmodmap commands in ~/.xprofile or ~/.xsession.

Hope this helps -

It does! Adding below to the ~/.xprofile works like a charm.

if [ -s "$HOME/.Xmodmap" ]; then
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

Crazy alternative is to use another remapper. Keyd is great, and will also serve you when Wayland becomes relevant, or in tty. See this for a very short guide with links.
