I lookup up
https://www.baeldung.com/linux/console-change-keyboard-layout

and find this

4. Using the dpkg-reconfigure Command

The dpkg-reconfigure command is another option for changing the keyboard 
layout in the console:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration


But choosing apple macbook keyboard didn't help me ...

Then I find this ...

"Thanks, Fn-Delete works in Ubuntu too :) but after hunting around I 
finally found the FreeCAD user config file in /Home/.FreeCAD/. I guess 
these simple text files are platform independent as replacing the file 
on Ubuntu with the Mac config brings over all the Mac FreeCAD 
preferences including having the Delete key function :) ."

Of course I know about keyb remapping, but how?  Multiplex del and bs on 
the bs ?

Thanx, we are getting closer!
