You didn't say so. > But two options were really confusing to me and my muscle memory: > - "ctrl:swapcaps" : swaps left ctrl with caps You can try nocaps: ,---- [ /etc/default/keyboard ] | XKBMODEL="pc102" | XKBLAYOUT="de" | XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys" | XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps" `---- ,---- [ /etc/X11/xorg.conf ] | Section "InputDevice" | Identifier "Keyboard0" | Driver "kbd" | Option "XKBOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" | Option "XkbModel" "pc102" | Option "XkbLayout" "de" | EndSection `---- ,---- [ ~/.Xmodmap ] | [...] | keycode 66 = Control_L Control_L Control_L Control_L | [...] `---- That works nicely with an IBM Model M with German layout. Better get one of those with French layout; the Model M keyboards (built by Unicomp now) are the only decent keyboards you can get for computers. You can use xev to figure out what keycodes your keys have. First make sure your keyboard works as it should. Then use "xmodmap -pke" to create an ~/.Xmodmap which you can modify for the customisations you need. Finally, add ,---- [ ~/.xinitrc ] | xset r rate 250 95 & | xset m 2.5 0 & `---- to your ~/.xinitrc and enjoy :) If you use KDE, it's buggy in that it doesn't load your ~/.Xmodmap, and it ignores your ~/.xinitrc. So you might have to do something to get it loaded --- and turn off the customisations KDE itself applies. > - "nodeadkeys" : wasn't able to do ^-e to get ê That's what it is for :) Your keyboard configuration may stop working at some time. They keep changing the keyboard stuff all the time without telling anyone and then you can spend hours again to figure out how to get your keyboard to work :( Still all this doesn't really solve the original problem of the LEDs not indicating the status of the keyboard correctly.
