Denis,

   The Xmodmap man page shows you how to re-assign keys. But, you need to
first know the names of the keys you want to change. There's a utility for
that whose name I don't recall. A Web search on how to identify key names
would be a good start, and there are Web pages with more information on
modifying ~/.Xmodmap than is found on the man page.
