I'm using Xubuntu 12.04. How do I either swap or remap the Control (or any key) and Caps Lock keys?
Another way:
sudo vi /etc/default/keyboard
then find the line that starts with XKBOPTIONS
, and add ctrl:nocaps
to make Caps Lock an additional Control key or ctrl:swapcaps
to swap Caps Lock and Control.
For example, mine looks like
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_alt,compose:menu,ctrl:nocaps"
then run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
The reason this way is better is that it will take effect on the virtual consoles (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) as well as in the graphical desktop.
