How to map a broken key to a replacement?

OK, I opened up /.Xmodmap just to double check. For some reason, the remap I did for Shift+End=Down was there (although it doesn't work) but the remap I did for Insert=Down was not. Even though I will swear to my dying day that I did change it, did Ctrl+S to save and did Ctrl+X to close nano, all as properly as possible.
I reopened in Geany (easier on my eyes and brain than nano), changed the Insert to Down, saved, opened again to double-check that the modification was really saved this time, did step 4 again, rebooted... and now Insert=Down works! :smiley:
Ideally, I'd still like to eventually get a combo like Alt/Fn+End=Down, but Insert=Down is working and perfectly acceptable, and too much CLI etc a day hurts my poor noob brain.

Thanks everyone for helping out!
