Greetings, I would like to disable capslock permanently and replace it with
ctrl. I used this:
> sudo setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
It works temporarily, but then inexplicably reverts back to the old caps-lock
behavior. I also tried changing this file:
> /etc/default/keyboard
By using sud
Just to clarify because my post is a little unclear: the capslock comes back
mid-session, without me logging out or restarting the computer. I'd like to
know the trick for setting this in the most permanent and reliable way if
there is one.
I do all my key remapping with xmodmap, but depending on your desktop
environment there may be an easier way. Are you using MATE (Trisquel 8's
default) or are you using a different DE?

Thanks, I'll look at xmodmap. I'm using the default MATE.

In that case, the easiest thing to do will be to go to Control Center
and select "Keyboard". In the window that opens, go to the "Layout" tab
and select "Options". There, go to "Caps Lock key behavior" and either
disable Caps Lock or map it to something useful like ES
Perfect, thanks!
