That is the way I've done it in the past. Note that normally, on at
leatst GNU Linux systems, there are default emacs keymaps that you can
use with loadkeys. Using one of these may provide a better range of
mappings. Note that you can combine these keymap files with 'include'
statements. Check the loadkeys man page.
