[SOLVED] Option to use either `linge-xmodmap` or `camswap-xmodmap` in .bashrc

Have my .bashrc file and want to have the option to use either
`linge-xmodmap` or `camswap-xmodmap` for remapping keys on my keyboard.

What can I do?

Code:

 
if (( exec_rc == 1 )); then
  xmodmap ${linge_trk}/linge-xmodmap    # re-maps Ctrl, Meta, Super
  xmodmap ${linge_trk}/camswap-xmodmap  # re-maps Ctrl, Meta, Super
fi

There's nothing wrong with the output you posted.
Is there a problem?

BTW, you need to apply xmodmap settings only once per graphical session, so the lines might be better suited to e.g. ~/.xinitrc, or an autostart script.

Have done as follows

Code:

   # Re-map keys (Ctrl, Meta, Super)
   if (( xmodmap_variant == 0 )); then
     xmodmap ${linge_trk}/linge-xmodmap
   elif (( xmodmap_variant == 1 )); then
     xmodmap ${linge_trk}/camswap-xmodmap
   else
     echo "Not using xmodmap"
   fi
