Hi, is it possible to use xmodmap or a similar utility, on a per
application basis?

Currently I have redefined my keybindings using xmodmap to get my
Logitech remote control working with MPlayer, but this breaks a lot of
other applications!

Can xmodmap detect the application is being run and act accordingly? I
don't see how it could "filter" or "differentiate" the key remapping in
real time based on the app :-?

Instead, have you thought in solving the issue with the overlapping of
the mapped keys?

No, I too don't think it's possible.

What to do you mean exactly by "overlapping of the mapped keys"?

For example, if one application demands "keycode 60 = F" and another
application demands "keycode 60 = ." (as is the case) to define "keycode
60 = . F"?

No, I think this would be problematic, because 'F' is a printable
character, and I don't want to type 'F' every time I press '.'!

I could only think of writing a script like this:

#! /bin/sh
xmodmap -e 'keycode 60 = F' & /usr/bin/<application>; xmodmap -e 'keycode 60 = period'

While the application is running, the '.' key produces an F;
after quitting the application, things are back to normal.

That works if one doesn't Alt+Tab to another application.

Do we have any way of detecting "on focus" events?

I've never tried this, or any keyboard remapping that I can remember,
but it seems to me it might be better to do this on a per input device
basis rather than per application.

setxkbmap(1) looks like it might do the trick?
