xmodmap is included in kiosk so i would go with it as per:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xmodmap
http://xahlee.info/linux/linux_xmodmap_tutorial.html
(more howtoos on google)

once you find correct 'xmodmap' command syntax you may add it to 003-settings.xzm/etc/xdg/openbox/autostart.

btw: moving thread to the 'User's modifications to the Kiosk ISO' category.

Thanks a lot fanthom ! :beer:

Solution works perfectly :good: !

I modified with the following code in the file /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart in the 003-settings.xml module :

Code: Select all

xmodmap -e 'keycode 91 = KP_Delete KP_Decimal'


Thanks again !
