There seem to be several options for setxkbmap
such as -option caps:backspace

I am inside a screen (screen -Ra). I have a long command, and I am at the end. Instead of keeping the left arrow, how can you go to the beginning of the line?
I don’t remember why they did this, but at one point X.org decided that disabling CtrlAltBackspace to kill it was a good idea. I know there’s a way to re-enable it but I don’t remember how. Can someone refresh my memory?

I use Linux on a Macbook with a UK/GB keyboard and I customize the keymap to solve some problems Apple’s weird keyboard layout causes. I use xmodmap
to do this. I’d like to try Wayland, but xmodmap
doesn’t work in that. How can I achieve a similar result in Wayland? The .Xmodmap
file I use contains the following:
I am running the latest version of Linux Mint with Cinnamon. I’m trying to map Caps Lock to Ctrl, but I cannot figure out how to do it. All web searches I’ve done have led me to older versions of Linux Mint (there is no keyboard layout option in my settings). How can I do this?
