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 sudo to add the following line to it:
> XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"
That line persists in the file but seems to have no effect.
I was hoping to find a set-it-and-forget-it command or configuration that
would work without having to install another package like a tweak tool which
would also be handy for future reference. I'm mystified by it randomly
reverting back after using the setxkbmap command (without logging out).
I don't remember this ever happening on my other computer which also uses
Trisquel 8. The biggest difference I'm aware of between this laptop and my
other Trisquel 8 machine is this one uses an outdated version of libreboot,
so my desktop clock only shows military time. I wonder if this capslock
behavior is also related to the older version of libreboot? I don't know how
to update Libreboot and am not quite ready to incapacitate this laptop due to
a failed attempt since it is my goto machine. The instructions on the
libreboot site were a little bit intimidating. This is an X200 Taurinus.
Thanks!
