The easiest way to solve this dilemma is to call in another modifier. The following lines illustrate this. Compare them to the previous example.
###pointer function | key |
pointer_key_mod1 | left_shift |
pointer_key_mod2 | left_extend |
pointer_left_key | cursor_left |
pointer_right_key cursor_right | |
pointer_up_key | cursor_up |
pointer_down_key | cursor_down |
In this example,
•Pressing the 
key moves the hpterm text cursor up.
•Pressing 
moves the cursor up in the program you frequently operate.
•Pressing 
moves the pointer up.
Using a similar technique, you can also reassign the 
sequence that aborts a session. You can specify the press of a single key or a combination of two, three, or four key presses. Just make sure that the key sequence you select isn't something you're going to type by accident.
Besides remapping the mouse's pointer and buttons to your keyboard, you can remap any key on the keyboard to any other key.
Modifying Modifier Key Bindings with xmodmapTo change the meaning of a particular key for a particular X11 session, or to initialize the X server with a completely different set of key mappings, use the xmodmap client.
