Hi,
On my new laptop, I’m missing the “end” and “home” keys as quick keys, but I have some useless keys but not recognized by manjaro, like play, pause, next one, previous one who should be use with a player
I would like to replace for exemple “previous” and “next” with “home” and “end”.
How can I do this?
Thanks
… you mean the arrow keys?
… you only have up and down, but not left and right?
Perhaps show your actual physical keyboard layout - as well as hardware and system info via inxi
(search for “how to provide good information”)
and the keyboard layout you elected to apply and are currently using
Perhaps you just selected the wrong keyboard layout …
Thanks, unfortunately, I can’t provide a link or image… so it’s difficult to provide details
I don’t speak about arrow key, but “home” and “end”, these keys are usually next to “delete” and “insert”.
This is not a keyboard layout issue, sometimes on keyboards and especially laptops, the configuration is non-standard, and I want to be able to replace a shortcut key that I do not use dedicated in this case to the playback of videos and not recognized by the system, by keys corresponding to my use.
post the type and version of the keyboard and others can check the net forthemselve on this type.
also:
Welcome to Manjaro!
to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
on the one hand:
I know
on the other:
on my laptop, these functions are available via the Fn key,
in combination with the left arrow (labelled: “Pos 1”)
and right arrow (labelled: “End”).
So: is my laptop keyboard layout what is unusual - or is yours? 
… share the keyboard layout that you elected to use
as well as the info on your laptop/hardware
What you want to do is very likely possible - but it might be unnecessary to do.
you should be able to paste a link
when you format it as a quote - see the editing symbols in the top row …
… or put some spaces … get creative
This is my Fr Keybord : ibb. co/zhdty8C
unrecognized keys that I want to reassign : ibb. co/gv50bfW
I know it is possible to combine the Fn+home or Fn+end key, but I prefer a direct access to this key that I use very regularly.
As resquested, but i don’t think this will help :

Thanks for the clarification.
The functions are available - but, just as for me, only as a compound (press two keys instead of just one).
So, for you, it is something necessary.
Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me remember the way to do it.
I just seem to remember that
xev
was involved
to find out the keycode to use in the reconfiguration/reassignment.
I’d have to do some googling to refresh my memory - what did you find out?
It is not Manjaro specific - so: any resource you find will likely be helpful to you.
Perhaps even the Arch Wiki has something on it - this would be my first source to go to if it appeared in the search results.
Others here probably do know/remember the procedure.
I unfortunately don’t right now.
First i have install xev
pacman -S xorg-xev
If i run
xev
i get
FocusOut event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,

With a usual key i get

XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:

It seems that the keys are not recognized at all by the system.
system.
Does anyone have an opinion or an idea?
For now i follow this source
dedoimedo. com/computers/linux-keyboard-custom-remap.html
wiki.archlinux. org/title/Linux_console/Keyboard_configuration
The first output looks like you pressed two consumer control keys (eg media keys), or the same key twice.
You can use xmodmap or xkbcomp (not both at the same time). The latter applies the config much faster and can apply a custom map per device (if you supply an id, which can be found using xinput), it’s more flexible, newer and should probably be preferred.
# get config
xmodmap -pke ~/xmodmap
# edit file
keycode 110 = Home NoSymbol Home
keycode 172 = XF86AudioPlay XF86AudioPause XF86AudioPlay XF86AudioPause
# becomes
keycode 172 = Home NoSymbol Home
keycode 110 = XF86AudioPlay XF86AudioPause XF86AudioPlay XF86AudioPause
# re-apply
xmodmap ~/xmodmap
With xkbcomp the file consists of 4 sections but we only care about sections 1 and 3. Section 1 contains label to keycode mappings, section 3 contains label to keytable (may not be the correct term) mappings. Some labels are not descriptive so look in section 3 to see which key is which.
# get config
xkbcomp $DISPLAY ~/xkbcomp
#edit file
# section 1
<HOME> = 110;
<I172> = 172;
# section 3
key <HOME> { [ Home ] };
key <I172> { [ XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPause ] };
# either section can be swapped
# don't swap both at the same time
# I'll use the 1st section
<HOME> = 172;
<I172> = 110;
# re-apply
xkbcomp ~/xkbcomp $DISPLAY
Mapping scancodes to keycodes may be better, if possible.

Thanks !
I had this two lignes in a script
xmodmap -e "keycode 173 = Home NoSymbol Home"
xmodmap -e "keycode 171 = End NoSymbol End"
It does the job
