You can use the following command:

xmodmap -e "keycode 62 = slash question slash question" #this will make Shift_R to act as slash

To get this change for every session, after you have run the previous command, create a file called .xmodmap with the new keymaps, using the following command:

xmodmap -pke > .xmodmap

Then, create a file called .xinitrc in your home directory, containing the following line/command:

xmodmap .xmodmap

I just restared my system (ubuntu 13.04) and the `.xinitrc` part didn't work. By now I'm going to ad `xmodmap .xmodmap` to session applications list. If you know the issue please updade. Thanks. – oblitum Dec 07 '13 at 17:08
@chico Try to `chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc` and see if the problem persists. – Radu Rădeanu Dec 07 '13 at 17:48
