This is not going to work if there's another keycode mapped to the same keysym "0" as XKeysymToKeycode only returns one keycode. I'm surprised that xmodmap even let's you do this. The keysym->keycode map should be injective. After all, keysyms are just platform-independent abstraction of keycodes. Inputting text may work, because keycodes are never used, but to grab a key the keycode is needed. Just map the keycode to some unused keysym from /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h. There are F-keys up to F35, for example. -- Tuomo
