> Using the "xev" utility I was able to find the corresponding keycode to

> Also solved problem with keymapping with characters ` ~ # " '

> This did the job:

> xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = backslash bar brokenbar"
> xmodmap -e "keycode 57 = 35 126"
> xmodmap -e "keycode 38 = 50 34"
> xmodmap -e "keycode 59 = 44 64"

> output form xev was:

> root 0x2a, subw 0x0, time 921255218, (491,185), root:(515,209),
