xmodmap replacement in 2020
XKB seems the way to go
- convert xmodmap to xkb: https://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2012/09/msg00274.html
- gnome 3 (shell) does not load xmodmap anymore: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873656

FIXME: howto to map some keys manually
Helpful were:
save current keyboard layout into file:
xkbcomp -xkb :0 original-layout.xkb
copy file, adjust
load:
xkbcomp ~/.config/xkb-keyboard/cweiske-kinesis-full.xkb $DISPLAY
