Keyboard remapping

[haplo]

I am trying to figure out how to remap function keys on a keyboard.
I need the keyboard to send the same escape sequence as a 605 terminal
example:
f5 should send <esc><shift>og.

I am doing this to hopefully show how we can replace windows desktops with linux desktops in out wharehouses.

Our applications were originally configured to use 605 terminals and we are now using OnNet software to emulate the att605 keyboard.

It would be interesting if someone could enumerate the levels of hardware and software involved between the keypress and the character on the screen. I suppose at some level the keyboard is a device with a driver. Then an application like X Windows can reinterpret what the device sends. Then something relying on X Windows, like Gnome can retinterpret it again?

The article:

is interesting, but I've never tried that stuff myself.
