How do I switch the caps lock key out?
Hi
I want to get rid of the caps lock key and make it something useful, like an enter key or a backspace key (so i don't have to reach so far to hit them) I've made this file ~/.xmodmaprc contain the following remove Lock = Caps_Lock keysym Return = Caps_Lock when I execute it, via xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc, it makes caps lock behave as the enter key, but it still turns caps lock on. anyone have a clue how to eliminate the caps lock key for good? thanks in advance!

Have you investigated the man pages for 'keymaps' and 'xmodmap'?

hmmm
thanks so much for your reply! I tried investing that... but couldn't get any results
first, I logged in as root. then I typed dumpkeys > keys.txt then, with vi, I edited the file keys.txt to change the line: keycode 58 = Caps_Lock to this: keycode 58 = Return I then typed: loadkeys keys.txt Nothing happened :( I copied the modified keymap file to /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.map, and rebooted my machine. Still no change. Nothing seams tobe having any effect at all :( |
