Rest of the keys? I take it you mean they print strings like (for F10) :
^[[21~
? Well, you could just ignore them, you could bind them to something using
xmodmap, or you could bind them to something using your window manager. If
you use xmodmap, you'll want a (say) '.xmodmaprc' file with lines of the
form :
keycode 50 = BackSpace
keycode 73 = Delete
If you want to find the keycode for a key, run `xev`. If you want the list
of symbols, look in `/usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h'. Then just run
`xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc` from your X start up script.
If you use the window manager, you'll need to check the format of the resource
file it uses. I use tvtwm, so I put :
"SunFront" = : window : f.raiselower
to make the key on the left labelled 'Front' toggle a window between front
and back.
