Remapping numpad keys in Mint XFCE

[.William.]

Hi, I would like to remap one key in the numpad on my keyboard.



As you can see the two DEL keys of the keyboard and the numpad are very close to each other.
I keep confusing them, ending up not with a delete, but a dot. I would like them both to be just a delete.
By the way, I never use the numpad for anything.

So, my question is how to do this.

Maybe I'm being a bit overly simplistic here (kort door de bocht), but can't you just simply turn off NumLock?

You're right, but as you can see, the NumLk key is right beside the two Del keys: I keep accidentally pressing it. You may call me stupid, but I do not use this specific PC on a regular basis. I have tried getting used to it for many years, but unsuccessfully. NumLk is one other key I never have a need for.

(ik had dit béter kunnen uitleggen)

Disabling NumLock should be doable with xev and xmodmap (very old how-to, but probably still useful):

When successful, add the xmodmap command to your startup applications.

I tried the tutorial, but the NumLk didn't get disabled, but Return did.
How do I undo this?

[EDIT]

Logging out will undo it.
I retried the xev command, now it gave a different output. I guess I did something wrong before. I added xmodmap -e "keycode 77 = """ to my startup, so it should be right this time.

Thank you for your help.

Met vriendelijke groet.
