** Tags added: patch
** Description changed:
Swapping caps lock and escape in Xubuntu causes the super key to become caps
lock. This is because
"/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/autostart/xcape-super-binding.desktop" runs "xcape -e
'Super_L=Control_L|Escape'" on startup, which binds super to LCtrl+Escape on
release which is bound to xfce4-popup-whiskermenu in xfce4-keyboard-settings.
Changing the xcape command in xcape-super-binding.desktop to something not
involving escape like "xcape -e 'Super_L=Shift_L|Control_L|Alt_L|Super_L'" and
then changing the whiskermenu bind in keyboard settings to Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Super
L fixes the issue.
- This fix can be applied with these two patch files, applying the first
to "/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/autostart/xcape-super-binding.desktop" and the second
to "~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml"
