Hi there,<\/p>\n
isn’t it horrible if you write a text and suddenly THIS HAPPens.
\nSo while Caps-Lock is the most useless key, one could ask for a remapping to a more usefull key or action (call the console).<\/p>\n
So let’s check out how to remap the Caps-Lock key using xmodmap<\/strong>: Now we need to figure it out, which keycode belongs to the Caps-Lock key. While using th tool xev<\/strong> and pressing\u00a0Caps-Lock<\/em>, we can see that keycode 66<\/em> belongs to the key Caps-Lock<\/em> and that it is mapped to Caps_Lock<\/em>. (The number of the keycode is the unique identyfier regarding a key and the keysymname like Caps_Lock<\/em> is the reinterpretation of the XServer).<\/p>\n Whit the keycode we can now do a remap to any other key like … let us use an unused one like F13<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Now what can we do with F13<\/strong>? Using KDE<\/strong> and global shortcuts<\/strong> (SystemSettings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Edit -> New -> Global Shortcut -> Command\/URL), we can bind any action to F13<\/strong>. I use it for calling “konsole” which saves a lot of time while working.<\/p>\n The keymapping will be lost after the next login, so we need to make the remapping permanent. Create a new file in your homefolder which will be executed by xmodmap<\/strong>\u00a0after every login:<\/p>\n Now add the following lines:<\/p>\n Well done!<\/p>\n Edit<\/strong><\/p>\n I’ve found a nice manual for remapping the right mouse button on http:\/\/www.geocities.jp\/fred_b_maciel\/kbd\/kbd-e.html<\/p>\n Long story short for mapping the right mouse button to Control_R:<\/p>\n To make it permanent, create ~\/.xinitrc<\/em><\/p>\n Hi there, isn’t it horrible if you write a text and suddenly THIS HAPPens.

\nFirst we need to unmap the Caps-Lock from the special mappings:<\/p>\n$ xmodmap -e \"remove lock = Caps_Lock\"<\/pre>\n
$ xmodpap -e \"keycode 66 = F13\"<\/pre>\n
$ kate ~\/.Xmodmap<\/pre>\n
! Comment: Remove Caps_Lock from special mapping\r\nremove lock = Caps_Lock\r\n! Comment: Tell xmodmap that key 66 (former Caps_Lock) is now F13\r\nkeycode 66 = F13<\/pre>\n
xmodmap -e 'keycode 105 = Pointer_Button3'\r\nxkbset m\r\nxkbset exp =m\r\n<\/pre>\n
