I have noticed this also with swapping control and caps lock. Another workaround is to enable this option specifically in /etc/X11/xorg.conf by adding the following line to your keyboard "Device" section:
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps" This illuminates the LEDs correctly, but applies system-wide, of course. -- Caps lock LED changes state even when caps lock is mapped to ctrl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
