I want to swap lctl and lalt. I also want caps to also be ctl.
Following various Internet advice, I have edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to include the following:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-layout"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,ctrl:swap_lalt_lctl"
EndSection
This causes Caps to be remapped as Ctrl, but then LCtrl is mapped to Ctrl-Alt.
I have tried variations, including:
- Space or no space after the comma separating the
XkbOptions - Two separate lines for each
Option "XkbOptions" - Reversing the order in which the options are listed
I notice that my Identifier and bool for MatchIsKeyboard differ from various other resources. Identifier is the only mandatory option. And since I'm able to elicit some behavior, I deduce that keyboard-layout is valid. It seems like "on" and "True" are synonymous.
How can create the keybindings I desire?
I'm running Debian 9.2.

Have you looked into using xmodmap to accomplish this? I used to accomplish a similar task using xmodmap to swap some keys around.
