Hi wjw,

I had thought of that, and also wondered if perhaps the hex was sequential in which case it would be as easy as adding 1 or subtracting 1 to get the keys on either side. Granted the diagonal keys are still a problem.....

Update:
I went on to check my xmodmap file and found the following: 

keycode  54 = c C 0xbd 0xbc
keycode  55 = v V 0xc9 0xc8
keycode  56 = b B 0xf9 0xf8
keycode  57 = n N 0xcb 0xca
keycode  58 = m M 0xdf 0xde
keycode  59 = comma less 0xab 0xa7
keycode  60 = period greater 0xa9 0xa6
keycode  61 = slash question 0xb1 0xa1

The "keycode" is in the exact order of the keys on my keyboard and but the only other ordering I can see is the upper and lower cases being offset by 1.
