Would be nice to know what that "beep" function was/is
rather than
using xmodmap.
Just poking around my system, which is using the MATE desktop. If I
open the Keyboard Preferences, there's a tab for Accessibility, and
button for Audio Feedback, which offers some features even when the
other assisitive technologies stuff is off.
In there is a "Beep when a toggle key is pressed" option, triggered by
(caps lock, num lock, etc).
I suspect this is an old Gnome / MATE feature, but it might not be.
