I am running Debian 9. I bought a new keyboard that I love, but the BackSpace key is very small. I would like to assign BackSpace to the right Super key or Menu key (also on the right lower side).
For my Vim usage, in /etc/default/keyboard
, I was able to swap the Escape key and Caps Lock key with:XKBOPTIONS="caps:swapescape"
This works perfect. It works in a console (I believe the two packages console-common
and console-data
may be required), in the GUI, and system wide as I'd like. How could I also assign the BackSpace key to Super_R or Menu? Something like the following does not work (after rebooting of course):XKBOPTIONS="caps:swapescape,backspace:nomenu"
Where could I find a full list of the key names used in the /etc/default/keyboard
file? Thanks
