When I was doing this, I had it like so..... clear Lock remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove Control = Control_L keycode 66 = Control_L keycode 37 = Caps_Lock !Uncomment this to make caps lock work. As-is, it only sends the keysym !add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L I've also got.... keycode 117 = Multi_key That makes the menu key work as compose....
