I use arch, with keyboard layout “es”, because I’m Spanish. My keyboard doesn’t recognize the key “Insert”, unless Fn is enabled, and I don’t know why. I found its keycode in xmodmap -kpe: keycode 118 = Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert.

Since Fn takes the 7th place, I thought about changing it to keycode 118 = Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert, but nothing changed.

It is strange since changing it to keycode 118 = slash NoSymbol Insert NoSymbol Insert, will only work when Fn is enabled as well, meaning that Fn+Insert = /.

Probably unimportant: There’s also a keycode 90 = KP_Insert KP_0 KP_Insert KP_0 KP_Insert KP_0, but I don’t know what key is. Using xev and pressing Insert with Fn enabled says it’s key 118, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

    Key pad…ffs…of course! I’m literally facepalming right now. I had thought Key press. That’s what I get for working a long day with little sleep, then drinking several beers and thinking I should comment on things I don’t know much about.
