You mean something like this: setxkbmap -option caps:none That's definitely better than popping out the key cap, which I did to numerous keyboards in the past. :) Another additional trick I found useful to still have a caps lock function available, but with a lot less intrusive or dangerous activation pattern: setxkbmap -option shift:both_capslock With that you can toggle caps lock by pressing both shift keys simultaneously. As already mentioned in another message, I make use of the now dead CAPSLOCK key by assigning to it the compose key functionality: setxkbmap -option compose:caps Regards Urban _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
