We could use xmodmap to remap keys in ubuntu.
First, generate the current keycode map:

$ xkbcomp /home/user/.xkbmap ":0"
Error: Cannot open display ":0"

Gave up on terminal. Unsure what the command ":0" is supposed to do. I read this article- linuxuprising.com/2020/12/remap-ke...
Then I installed input-mapper- github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper
Got this funky UK keyboard on a Starbook laptop with a narrow left hand shift key where there is an extra ">" less than key which I changed to be an additional left shift key. Now I can type at a normal speed again.
Running- Pop!_OS 21.10 x86_64 on a Starbook-mk-v
Thanks for the efforts. Couldn't get it to work for me.
Pop OS use display ":1"
Thanks for this
Nice, you can also use the xdotool/AutoKey combo which I've been using for many years and have been planning a tutorial for it.
Actually it'll be for window management as well with wmctrl.
I'll also be doing one on AutoHotkey in Windows.
Just loved your tutorial!
Saved my day. Had keys that had stopped working.
Hello, I can get to remap colon and semicolon keys to same key?
yes you can
When I done the steps from that tutorial my Ubuntu didn't booting. I had to change the modifications that I made via the safe mode boot.
Well i do it this way:
Assigned hyphen, to another key. Only this. Now, normal key press prints hyphen + when I shift press that key, I get underscore too.
Right now _ - I just typed using those keys.
Better to try and test, before making them permanent.
Can I change Ctrl + C to Alt? And how can I do that?
Thanks.
million dollar's article, man !
I'm having trouble setting it as a startup aplication. I am able to succesfully edit .Xmodmap but I cant make xkbcomp /home/user/.xkbmap ":0" work.
I just have only one thing to say: Thank you so much!
