Thanks to Charlie and Vincent for their responses, I got my keyboard properly configured. I did, however, do so in a slightly different manner.
The usual method fo swapping Caps Lock and Control keys does just that, it swaps the keys; so, if you run xmodmap on the file twice they are back to how they started. That seems silly to me (though it hasn't been an issue except during testing) so I rewrote the .Xmodmap file so that it doesn't do that. Following what I currently have Joe Riel ! The commands in this file (.Xmodmap) are executed by ! ! xmodmap .Xmodmap ! ! This should be automatically executed when ! /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40custom_load-xmodmap ! is sourced by /etc/X11/Xsession. ! ! Swap Caps_Lock and Control_L (the left control key) ! ! 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 ! ! Rather than swap the Caps_Lock and Control keys, assign them directly. ! This prevents successive merges from swapping the keys back. ! Also, change the Alt keys to Meta keys ! and the Window keys to Alt keys. ! It may be better to have the Window keys as Meta keys, ! however, I'm stuck with that layout on NTemacs. clear Lock clear Control clear mod1 clear mod4 keycode 66 = Control_L keycode 37 = Caps_Lock keycode 115 = Alt_L keycode 64 = Meta_L keycode 113 = Meta_R keycode 116 = Alt_R keycode 109 = Control_R add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L Control_R add mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R add mod4 = Alt_L Alt_R -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
