xkeycaps

manipulate X11 keymaps (for xmodmap) graphically

xkeycaps is a graphical front-end to xmodmap(1). It opens a window that looks like a keyboard; moving the mouse over a key shows what KeySyms and Modifier bits that key generates. Clicking on a key simulates KeyPress/KeyRelease events on the window of your choice. It is possible to change the KeySyms and Modifiers generated by a key through a mouse-based interface. This program can also write an input file for xmodmap to recreate your changes in future sessions.

To install the latest version of xkeycaps in your favorite operating system just copy the xkeycaps installation command from above and paste it into terminal. It will download and install the latest version of xkeycaps 2026 package in your OS.
