My keyboard config is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf
The control/capslock key mapping still works, but the keyboard layout
is borked. If I remove that file, the control/capslock mapping stops
working (as expected), and the kayboard layout is OK.
Next, I tried just removing 'Option "XkbLayout'", and that made no
difference. Here is what I started with:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
Driver "libinput"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
Here's what I have no (no difference in behavior):
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
Driver "libinput"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
