I might look into that. Note, though, that I'm not reassigning the pedals with xmodmap: I'm using the Kinesis on-board remapping. I'm not quite sure how to programmatically change that.

(Bind unused F# key to run a script that drives xmodmap.) Another useful footpedal key is shift -- as you've no doubt noticed, {}()=! are rather common characters in some languages and thus shift is one of the modifiers I use most.
