Public bug reported: I want to swap theses two keys: Caps_Lock and Control_L, my configuration file as follows: ~/.profile: if [ -f "$HOME/.xmodmaprc" ]; then xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc fi
~/.xmodmaprc : remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove Control = Control_L keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L The same configuration, On Ubuntu12.04, it worked properly. After the upgrade, it works abnormally, after a few minutes, the key mappings will be rest, I have to run 'xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc' again and again. I also use a virtual machine, and the key mapping changes can't map to the guest system, but ubuntu12.04 don't have this problem. I am sure my configuration file “.xmodmaprc“ had not been “called” by other softs or system repeatedly.
