Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1243642] Re: .Xmodmap not automatically loaded on start
I concluded there are two solutions: swap to a different distro or to a different method. I've resorted to the second, and am now tweaking with xkb's infrastructure to arrive at the same remappings (caps becomes escape, escape becomes caps, left alt becomes ctrl, left ctrl becomes alt). It is more complicated, but more robust too.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1243642] Re: .Xmodmap not automatically loaded on start
You are right. And though you don't have to change all of the 273 files in there, it would be desireable for there to exist a user-level change like was the case with .Xmodmap. I've seen a few explanations on the web as to why Canonical would have wanted to break the old behavior, but I'm still not sure why. In any case, you don't have to change all of the 273 files. In most cases, not even one. You can see a list of the already coded tweaks on `/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst` and add them. I managed to permanently add the `grp:shifts_toggle`, `terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp` and `caps:swapescape` tweaks (you can grep the the file `evdev.lst` to see a more verbose description of what they do) by issuing the following command: `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options ['grp:shifts_toggle', 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp', 'caps:swapescape']` Best, Rafa On Sun, Mar 01, 2015 at 11:03:07AM -, HaraldK wrote: Well, % find /usr/share/X11/xkb/ -type f|wc -l 273 there are 273 files in this folder a I would definitively need a whole tutorial to change keyboard settings.

I did it differently.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1243642] Re: .Xmodmap not automatically loaded on start
I also got fed up, but adopted an alternative solution. I've migrated my remappings to XKB. I plan to write out a tutorial explaining how to go about using XKB to implement remappings. But who knows when... The internet is, however, plenty of resources on how to go about it.

I don't think we are talking about the same thing when we talk of XKB.
