Caps Lock remapping problem (now dual esc and capslock in one button)

The following is the contents of my .xmodmaprc file:

keycode 13 = 4 numbersign 4 dollar EuroSign onequarter
keycode 51 = dollar asciitilde numbersign asciitilde dead_grave dead_breve
keycode 34 = braceleft bracketleft
keycode 35 = braceright bracketright
keycode 66 = Escape
keycode 9 = Caps_Lock

but wierdly Caps_Lock is now behaving both as an escape and a capslock :scratch:

i.e. in gedit capslock key behaves like capslock (as does esc), whilst in vim, if in insert mode, capslock key now exits insert and behaves like capslock simultaneously!

Anyone got a clue what's going on here??

I think you need to move the modifiers too:

Code:

clear Lock

add Lock = Caps_Lock
