I have my Ctrl and Caps Lock keys swapped using xmodmap. xmodmap is run when i3 starts. After I resume from suspend, they are swapped back and I have to run xmodmap again. Is there any way to fix this without a system-level resume hook?Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:15:33 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1724/custom-keymap-reset-after-resume/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1724/custom-keymap-reset-after-resume/?answer=1728#post-id-1728My suspicion on why that happens is that your keyboard gets disconnected for a short amount of time and gets recognized as a new device. One way to work around this effect is to configure your keyboard layout in Xorg.conf, not via Xmodmap: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Setting_keyboard_layout_with_hot-plugging Another, uglier way, is to chain the i3lock invocation you possibly use for suspending: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.i3.general/936/focus=945Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:36:10 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1724/custom-keymap-reset-after-resume/?answer=1728#post-id-1728
