Depends how you've set up your Xmodmap. You can make anything map to
anything, really, but its a question of your tastes. Here, for
example, is one of mine:

! <- key should be delete
keycode 22 = Delete
! make delete key do backspace for LyX
keycode 107 = BackSpace
! make the windows key "alt", "alt" key "meta"
keycode  64 = Meta_L
keycode 113 = Meta_R
keycode 115 = Alt_L
keycode 116 = Alt_R
! make the "menu" key Super
keycode 117 = Super_R
add    Mod3    = Super_R
add    Mod4    = Alt_L Alt_R
