[Cooker] How do I find what physical key corresponds to a given keycode

[Steve Morris]

I have issued the xmodmap -pk command to find the keycode mappings for 
the generic 105 key and the Acer Laptop keyboard drivers, and both 
drivers have keycode 106 = insert and keycode 107 = delete. On my Acer 
laptop the delete key is physically next to the insert key but according 
to xev the delete key is not keycode 107 it is 242. How do I find out 
what key actually is keycode 107?

Also as a side issue, is it possible to assign a program to a keyboard 
key as can be done under Windows, eg: under Windows, via vendor supplied 
software, it is possible to assign IE to a keyboard key so that pressing 
that key launches IE, hence is it possible to do the same thing under Linux?

regards,
Steve
