With the first line we switch off the standard function of Caps-Lock. Otherwise, Caps-Lock is still activated additionally.<\/p>\n
The second line with the “Mode_switch” remaps the ALT-GR key. This is needed to get the | character. ALT-GR causes minor problems with Xmodmap.<\/p>\n
The third line then maps Caps-Lock to our desired characters. The syntax is normal, then with Shift and then the value for the modifier key.<\/p>\n
What do the other lines do? Well, reconfiguring ALT-GR has the side effect that the other characters generated with ALT-GR no longer work. These include the euro, at sign and the tilde. We therefore configure these keys with .<\/p>\n
We can determine the keycode with the “xev” command. Simply start this via the console and then press the key. The code is in the third line.<\/p>\n
\r\nKeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x8600001,\r\n root 0x3d0, subw 0x0, time 7427147, (1301,516), root:(1391,678),\r\n state 0x10, keycode 35 (keysym 0x2b, plus), same_screen YES,\r\n XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2b) \"+\"\r\n XFilterEvent returns: False\r\n<\/pre>\nAs soon as we have saved the file, we can activate it:<\/p>\n
\r\nxmodmap ~\/.Xmodmap\r\n<\/pre>\nCaps-Lock should be deactivated beforehand. If you have made a mistake and the configuration is rubbish, you can undo it with the following command.<\/p>\n
\r\nsetxkbmap option\r\n<\/pre>\nThe setting is only valid until the next restart. It is therefore advisable to include the call for the setting in the login script<\/a>.<\/p>\nSo far it works quite well. I hope I haven’t overlooked an ALT-GR key, but this can otherwise be extended quite easily.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
