How to type Numpad Enter, if there's no such key on the keyboard?

I'm working with an ancient platform emulator, so sometimes I need to press Numpad Enter, but my notebook keyboard has no options for doing that. Is is possible to emulate Numpad Enter key somehow? I don't mind if the solution is clumsy.

Solution

  • You can remap the keyboard using xmodmap. For example, to turn F12 into numpad enter, use this command:

    xmodmap -e 'keycode 96 = KP_Enter'

    You can find out the keycode of keys by starting xev and pressing them. The list of possible keysym values can be found in keysymdef.h. Omit the XK_ prefix. The numpad keys start with XK_KP_.
