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?
I’m using Xubuntu. Before login I can choose a keyboard layout. I’m using xmodmap for remapping some keys.
I want to remap my AltGR+Right_Windows but I can’t figure out how. No matter what I try, pressing the right windows key emits the name keysym when right alt is pressed or not.
I am attempting to remap my keyboard in order to make emacs usable. My ergonomic keyboard puts its single Control key in an isolated 4-key island way off to the left.
Playing with xmodmap I encountered a modifier key I hadn’t heard of: Mode_switch. It seems to have something to do with inserting special characters.
When I program I like to swap these keys:
I have a custom xmodmap file I use, including useful multi-language diacriticals, english quotes, dashes &c. I want to use this map with kmscon, so I need to create a xkb configuration from it. Is there an automated method to do it? Or even a straightforward manual process, since I won’t need to do this frequently?
