Searching for some xterm help

[l***@yahoo.com]

I am seeking some insight on defining an XTerm keyboard mapping problem.

The problem is this - xmodmap -pk reports the following:

81 0xff50 (Home)
84 0xff57 (End)
102 0xffd8 (F27) 0xffd8 (F27) 0xffb7 (KP_7) 0xff50 (Home) 96 0xffde (F33) 0xffde (F33) 0xffb1 (KP_1) 0xff57 (End)

I want to know what has to be done so that keyboard translations for
F27 and F33 appear on the keyboard. Right now, it appears that the
0xff50 and 0xff57 keysyms are 'overriding' the other keysyms translation
by default.

The solution to this was in the MIT X documentation. The xterm translations
are set from more specific to less specific. By the time that the
translations for F27 and F33 were reached, the definitions for
Home and End had already been set. So since something is assigning
the Home and End keysyms to both pairs of keys, the first translation
took precedence over the second.

The solution was to define the F27 and F33 translations before the Home
and End ones - then I got unique sequences for the two pairs of keys
in xterm.
