Home Arrow Keys keycode 31 = i I Up keycode 44 = j J Left keycode 45 = k K Down keycode 46 = l L Right keycode 30 = u U Page_Up keycode 32 = o O Page_Down keycode 43 = h H Home keycode 47 = semicolon colon End This basically allows me to have the arrow keys in the home row simply by depressing my capslock key. This works fine for basically everything except kpart applications like kate or kwrite. It even works fine for the rest of kde like dialog boxes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Another thing would be to check using "xev" that the correct keycodes are being output on both press and release. If Konqueror works, and the codes output are the same, then you need to file a bug aganist Kate. If Konqueror doesn't work, and the codes output are the same, then you need to file a bug aganist KParts. If the codes output do not match, then you need to file a bug aganist Xmodmap.

Does this work correctly in Konqueror when browsing web sites? In konqueror's dialog boxes, like the search engine bar or address bar, it works fine. Is this what is meant? So the problem is with Kpart I guess?
