I have two keyboards that need slightly different layouts. Both should
remap caps to super, and one needs to swap lalt and lwin. I know
that I can do this with setxkbmap, I can't figure out how to do it via
config files. This is how I do it with setxkbmap:
setxkbmap -option caps:super
setxkbmap -device `xinput list | grep -o -P 'Apple Internal Keyboard /
Trackpad\s+id=\d+' | grep -o -P '\d+'` -option altwin:swap_lalt_lwin
I have tried adding the following to my xorg.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Catch All"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbOptions" "caps:super"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Apple Keyboards"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchProduct "Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad"
Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,caps:super"
EndSection
The log output from this configuration looks good, but the result is
both keyboards have swapped lalt and lwin. Here is a snippet from the log:
[ 7482.961] (**) Option "config_info"
"udev:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/input/input12/event8"
[ 7482.961] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Dell Dell USB
Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
[ 7482.961] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[ 7482.961] (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
[ 7482.961] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us"
[ 7482.961] (**) Option "xkb_options" "caps:super"
...
[ 7482.980] (**) Option "config_info"
"udev:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.0/usb4/4-3/4-3:1.0/input/input9/event9"
[ 7482.980] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Apple Inc. Apple
Internal Keyboard / Trackpad" (type: KEYBOARD)
[ 7482.980] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[ 7482.980] (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
[ 7482.980] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us"
[ 7482.980] (**) Option "xkb_options" "altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,caps:super"
I assume that whichever one is second overrides the first.
I have also tried using udev rules to configure this but the result
was the same.
Any help would be appreciated.
