You have to set them up as modifiers first. The list of defined
modifiers can be displayed with
$ xmodmap
The output looks something like this:
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Meta_L (0x40)
mod2
mod3 Mode_switch (0x71)
mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74)
mod5
To remove key symbols from modifiers, use
$ xmodmap -e "clear Lock"
$ xmodmap -e "clear Mod5"
To add modifiers use this syntax:
$ xmodmap -e "add Lock = Caps_Lock"
$ xmodmap -e "add Mod2 = Num_Lock"
...
You have to restart fvwm before this works properly.
