Yes there is.

If you are at the console have a look at kbdcontrol(1), pick a
keyboard map from /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/, like us.emacs.kbd and
edit it to your liking.

If you are using X Windows System have a look at xmodmap(1). To use
it, do something like 'xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmap' whilst in X, then
edit ~/.xmodmap to your needs. Then run 'xmodmap ~/.xmodmap' and see
if it accts the way you like it. Another tool you might find useful
when creating keyboard mappings is xev(1), it will tell you what your
keys are mapped to.

Hope it helps,
