hi, i started using colemak yesterday and i'm still getting used to it :)
however i'm having a problem with the caps lock key as when i press it both backspaces and activates the caps lock.
it also didn't autorepeate but that was solved with the "xset r 66" command.
any help would be appreciated, thanks :)
Does this help:
xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
Something must be broken in Ubuntu's way of handling keyboard layouts, as on a vanilla X.org setup Caps Lock functions correctly as Backspace.
that worked, thanks! acts correctly as a backspace now. and ya guess it must be something in ubuntu...
also can you give me the command to reverse it for future reference?
The reverse:
xmodmap -e "add Lock = Caps_Lock"
but you can assign it to any key eg.:
xmodmap -e "add Lock = Scroll_Lock"
(or even "a", "F12", etc)
Just type "xmodmap" for an overview of currently assigned modifier keys, and "man xmodmap" for more info.
thanks, that helped :)
