Title: Command for remapping "delete" key
Post by: mahesh on Aug 11, 2023, 08:27 AM
Good day,
I am new to Ubuntu and wish to remap the left key of my keyboard to use it as del "delete" key (keeping anyhow the right delete key as unchanged)

I found in "Settings > Keyboard > View and customize keyboard > custom shortcuts > Add custom shortcuts, with 3 lines to be filled:
Name: I understand this is the new name I want for designation of my new shortcut, ok
Command: I understand this is the "delete" command I should enter here to use the shortcut as I want to do, as a "delete" key
Shortcut, add shortcut: I understand this is the (left) key of my keyboard I want to use as a new "del" key, ok ( I just have to click on the chosen key of my keyboard)

The help file is not clear for me on this item, how to I enter the right "delete" command in the second line ? / I tried to enter the word "delete", or the word "del" but this do not work

As an other option, if I wish to use the "loudspeaker high" key as an alternative to the del key, what would be the command to use?

Thanks for your help,
