Add the following line to your .xinitrc, or put it in your modmap:
xmodmap -e "keysym F9 = F19" -e "keysym F10 = F20" -e "keysym F11 = F16" \
-e "keysym F12 = F18"
This key-mapping maps F9-F12 to find, cut, copy and paste.
You can use xkey to find the names of other sun func keys.
( Do not use xkey to snoop other's keyboard activity. Evil. :-) )
I strongly recommand you use olvwm.
F1-F6 is useful for olvwm. You can use F1-F6 to switch virtul desktop.
So, assigning keys to F1-F6 is not a good idea.
Enjoy,
