I'm on a Dell Mini 910 with English keyboard and Ubuntu 11.10 also in English, and I want to keep it this way. But most of my typing is in Spanish so I need the AltGr key to get Spanish characters without switching my keyboard layout.
How can I map the Menu Key to AltGr?
Thanks.

I assume this is to be done in X.
It can be done with 'xmodmap'.
xmodmap -e "keysym Menu = ISO_Level3_Shift"
Put the following in the the file '.Xmodmap' in your home directory to make it load automatically when logging in.
keysym Menu = ISO_Level3_Shift

You point me into the right direction. This what works for me:clear mod3 keysym Menu = Mode_switch add mod3 = Mode_switch
