I have tried that in xkeycaps, (making the "End" Key the Mode_switch key), but I keep getting the response back: "This key generates the keysym Mode_switch, but no modifier bits. This means that this key won't do anything in most applications." Is there anyplace in xkeycaps where I can set the modifier bits?
