I'm trying to follow the answer here to set up some key swaps (Capslock as CTRL) on external keyboards (Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000).
First step is this. Get the details of your USB keyboard. Run this command with the keyboard plugged in:
$ /lib/udev/findkeyboards | grep USB
USB keyboard: input/event6
This doesn't work for me, as /lib/udev/findkeyboards doesn't exist on my system - from Googling I can't find anyone else with this issue! Any idea why not - and how I can acquire the right version?
I'm running Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit, using the i3 window manager.
uname -a gives me this:
Linux will-ThinkPad-X220 4.13.0-45-generic #50~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 30 11:18:27 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm not finding findkeyboards in any packages on Ubuntu 16.04 either. I did locate it in the Git repo for udev, so perhaps it's no longer being packaged, would be my guess. findkeyboards is nothing more than a shell script so you can install it where ever you like. It's located here:
- https://github.com/lu-zero/udev/blob/master/src/keymap/findkeyboards
When I downloaded it and installed it, it appears to work fine:
$ ./findkeyboards
USB keyboard: input/event6
USB keyboard: input/event7
