Remap capslock key to tab with setxkbmap
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I was trying to remap the <Capslock>key to the <tab> key, after some research I found out I could do;
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
Which maps the <Capslock> key to <Ctrl>.
So I tried;
setxkbmap -option tab:nocaps
and
setxkbmap -option tabulator:nocaps
but without success.
Is there an easy way to remap <Capslock> to <tab> in the terminal?
Also general systeminfo:
wm: i3
term: urxvt
x version: 1.20.3
x11 xorg keyboard xkb x

There's no such option. You'll have to define it yourself... and btw, to see all available options runlocalectl list-x11-keymap-options
