My laptop is Thinkpad T440.
Because of Lenovo designing, Home/End key is on header, in the line with F1-F12 keys.
For my convinient, I want to make some custom shortcut key to map with Home/End key. (ex: Alt+PageUp -> Home, Alt+PageDown -> End).
I tried with xdotool, but it was not worked :(
name: Homepress
command: xdotool key --clearmodifiers Home
shortcut key: Alt+Page Up
--
name: Endpress
command: xdotool key --clearmodifiers End
shortcut key: Alt+Page Down
What should I do ?
Noted that I don't want to print any special chracters from keyboard with custom shortcut key, I just want to replace "Home/End" key with another key/shortcut.

@sbergeron it is different with my case, I want to define new combination key for "Home/End" key on keyboard, not a character like your article. This like on ubuntu we can use combined key: Alt+F2 mapped with Super key.

For your information; it does work on my system. Maybe you should check with the commandxev+ Return, then pressHomeand see what is thekeysimon your system and try to use that instead.

I solved this with xbindkeys.
Install it:
sudo apt-get install xbindkeys xdotool
then create a default config:
xbindkeys --defaults > ~/.xbindkeysrc
Add this to .xbindkeysrc:
"xdotool key --clearmodifiers Home"
Release + Alt + Prior
"xdotool key --clearmodifiers End"
Release + Alt + Next
restart xbindkeys
An alternative is using AutoKey:
