My .Xmodmap wants to swap CapsLock with the left Control key, for which purpose the following works. I don't know if the order of remove, keysym and add matters, but it might. remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove Control = Control_L keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L [snip] HTH. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging <|> ]
