How to map the AltGr key to the Menu key?
On my Lenevo T460 laptop keyboard, I'd like to change the value of the AltGr key (between Space & PrtSc) to the Menu key as that is far more applicable for my use.
So far, I've managed to successfully change the Home & End keymapping to PgUp & PgDn and vice versa following this solution by editing the xkb file.
Is there a similar way to change AltGr to Menu key as well?
Thanks for your time.

Alt_Gr has the very intuitive name ISO_Level3_Shift. Therefore one has to change the following line in the pc file as instructed here from
key <MENU> { [ Menu ] };
to
key <MENU> { [ ISO_Level3_Shift ] };
