I'm trying to do this now.

In my .fvwmrc the Left ALT key combined with the F1 key pops up the menu. I'd
like to bind the Left Window key which has a keycode of 115 (as Ted found
using xev).

Having read the man page on xmodmap, it seems I need to bind the keycode 115
to the keysyms of both the "Left ALT" and "F1" keys.

In /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, exist the lines:
        #define XK_F1 0xFFBE
        #define XK_Alt_L 0xFFE9 /* Left alt */

So I'm trying to execute this:

        xmodmap -ev "keycode 115 = 0xFFEA 0xFFBE"

alas, (because I'm clueless) this doesn't do anything.

Anyone have any ideas?
