I used to use xmodmap, but have had issues recently with some of the
Gnome fruit which gets installed on my work Ubuntu-based desktop (my
xmodmap settings were getting stomped by something), so I switched to
xkb which seemed to work better. xkb has been around for about 18
years, so should be pretty well supported;.
