Keyboard mapping? "home" key

[craigk]

Hi.
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop and the "home" key is right next to the backspace key. Needless to say I keep accidentally hitting that when I try to backspace. It's annoying to keep ending up at the beginning of the line. Of course I could learn to type better, but that would be too easy.

I'm not really sure how to remap this key, or where the file for this would be, where the new file would need to be placed (~/ ??), etc. etc.

Thanks.

i'm not sure what to do... but read the man pages...
