linux - How to swap Ctrl and Windows keys with xmodmap

I want to swap the right Win and Ctrl keys on my keyboard using xkeycaps. This the .xmodmap file that I'm loading when Ubuntu starts, generated with xkeycaps. It works fine for swapping the Esc and Caps Lock keys.

Answer

If your only aim is to swap Ctrl and Caps Lock, then the file you're generating might be a bit overkill.

I use setxkbmap to change the layout, as xmodmap has failed across THE setup of my various machines:

setxkbmap -option rctrl:swapcaps

and I put that into my .xinitrc

Also note that when experimenting, setxkbmap -option resets everything back to the initial layout.

EDIT: I found this over on http://askubuntu.com, which also describes resetting using setxkbmap
