Ubuntu :: How To Disable Caps Lock
May 1, 2011Being and old Gnome user and a brand new XFCE user, does anyone know how to disable the Caps Lock key in Xubuntu 11.04? It's rather easy in Gnome and obviously not so easy in XFCE.

Ubuntu :: Disable Caps Lock With Xmodmap In Natty?
Apr 29, 2011I just upgraded machine to natty, after which the xmodmap configuration remapping capslock stopped working (as in not doing anything at all). Running xmodmap manually (-e "clear Lock") doesn't have any visible effect either. I haven't tried doing this on another machine (I'm only close to one machine running ubuntu and reinstalling seems rather overkill), but the same config worked before the upgrade, and is working on another machine running arch.
Is anyone else having these issues and, if so, has anybody found a solution? The line of interest is, simply, "clear Lock".
General :: Change The Caps Lock Key To Control And Still Keep The On/off Nature Of Caps Lock?
Oct 13, 2010Can I change the Caps Lock key to Control and still keep the on/off nature of Caps Lock? I've checked into using xmodmap and seem to have hit a dead end. Many people want to swap them, but they also want to swap the way they work. I'd rather keep my new Control key as an on/off switch for Control.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Middle Mouse Button - Disable CAPS LOCK Key?
May 3, 2010I just upgraded to 10.04 (and a new machine) from 8.04 and I can't seem to find a way to have the middle button on my mouse act as a double click like I had it on my old machine. I tried putting the input stanza from my old xorg.conf but then X would not come up. The new tab thing it does in Nautilus is driving me nuts. I see the xorg.conf isn't really used anymore, and there is something about making rules in udev but I can't seem to find the exact wording that I need to make that one rule. I would also like to disable the CAPS LOCK key if anyone knows how to do that without xorg.conf. Maybe someone can point me to a udev tutorial?

Jun 20, 2009In Fedora 10 they decided to change to "evdev", so if you used xmodmap in F9, these mapping have changed in F10 and F11 for that matter. In order to find the new key values start
Code:
xev and press a button you would like to know the keycode for. Write this value down. When done, make a file ".xmodmap" and put in the values. "man xmodmap" explains the format. Not easy to understand! So here is how mine looks like.
Code:
clear Lock
keycode 112 = Caps_Lock
keycode 118 = Delete
keycode 119 = Home
[Code]...
This layout is MUCH more logical than the original. Now Delete is the key just to the right of the Backspace key. Back spaces deletes to the left, and Delete deletes to the right, so these keys shoudl of course be next to each other Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End now have the same structure as the arrow keys below. This layout makes it much easier to navigate without looking at the keys, because now the layout makes sense And why shouldn't 0 be to the left of 1? of course it should. 0 is lower than 1.

May 2, 2010There is a very strange problem I've been having. When I enable either Caps Lock or Num Lock the media controls on my keyboard cease to work.

For example this is what I'm getting annoyed with, here is an example of what I am having to recorrect everytime I type.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Caps/Num Lock GDM/GDM3 On Squeeze?
Aug 26, 2010I recently decided to replace Lenny on my laptop with Squeeze. All went fine, but now with both GDM and GDM3, the Caps and Num locks come on when GDM starts, and behave erratically. I have to hit the caps/num lock key several times to disable the lock, and sometimes it will come on again after a random time. This behavior persists into my GNOME session. I'll be working on code and *&%#! -- on comes the caps/num locks.
Initially I thought this was an X issue. I uninstalled GDM3 (which is the version installed by squeeze) and logged in at the console then started X via startx. The caps and num locks remained off and behaved in the normal manner. I then tried SLiM, and again the keys behaved normally. Then I tried GDM (2.20 in the squeeze repos), and it behaved the same as GDM3. Even though I purged GDM3 and GDM, I'm wondering if there's some residual configuration data in my home directory, but I can't seem to find anything related. Using SLiM isn't so bad, but once I log in I get asked to unlock the keyring, so typing my password twice to log gets annoying.

Ubuntu :: Killing Caps Lock (standard Methods Fail)
Oct 17, 2010I'd like to make a few changes to the keymap; disabling caps lock and a few other changes. First I tried what has worked before:
editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
and commenting out a line there:
// key <CAPS> { [ Caps_Lock ] };
But changes in the xkb-files apparently only takes effect after login, and this particular system is set to autologin (i.e. it only works after I log out and log in again, not right after a reboot). I also tried putting
xmodmap -e "clear Lock" in one of the shell's startup-files (/etc/zsh/zshrc) No luck with that either. The above command works fine if I manually type it at the prompt, but for some strange reason it won't work in the shell startup script (and I know it has been executed since the lines before and after it in the script work fine).
Ubuntu :: Freeze - Blinking Caps And Scroll Lock - Acpi
Oct 20, 2010Sony Vaio EB 16 FG - running ubuntu 10.10 froze while resuming from dimmed screen with blinking scroll lock and caps log LED. The scenario was this :- I just downloaded the acpi using synaptic package manager. Then installed laptop mode tool using synaptic. cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode 0
Means its not yet enabled. But decided to remove it .(read drive spin up and down is not good for HDD) Had left the laptop for some time , it dimmed screen . When I resumed it froze. No mouse movement.only blinking caps and scroll. Just wondering if acpi is the culprit,since haven't seen this behaviour before and it happened after removing laptop mode tools

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: Swapping Caps Lock And Escape In X?
Feb 24, 2010For a good while I used the following code to swap caps lock and escape, which is very beneficial to me as I have vim-like keybindings in most of the apps that I use:remove Lock = Caps_Lock
add Lock = Escape
keysym Caps_Lock = Escape
keysym Escape = Caps_Lock
followed by xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap, which I got from http://vim.wikia.com
/wiki/Map_caps_lock_to_escape_in_XWindows. However, after a recent Debian upgrade with aptitude, this stopped working - or, it does work poorly, in that caps lock toggles caps lock and acts as escape, so I have to press it twice all the time. Is there a better way to do this with X, since my solution stopped working?
