And in this script I load Xmodmap: xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap & The content is keycode 166 = Prior keycode 167 = Next remove Lock = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = apostrophe But it is not working, this is what I have in .xsession-errors: xmodmap: /home/lzap/.Xmodmap:3: bad keysym in remove modifier list 'Caps_Lock', no corresponding keycodes xmodmap: /home/lzap/.Xmodmap:4: bad keysym target keysym 'Caps_Lock', no corresponding keycodes xmodmap: 2 errors encountered, aborting. The strange thing is when I try to execute xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap in a rxvt terminal once i3 is running, there are no errors reported and it is finally working. What can be wrong during the start?

Thanks https://faq.i3wm.org/question/558/xmodmap-loading/?comment=559#comment-559I’m not too sure if that really is the answer, but try removing it from your i3 config and run it in a terminal. Does it still fail? Some xmodmap files need to be run twice (they can be rewritten to work on the first try, though).Thu, 27 Sep 2012 17:23:55 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/558/xmodmap-loading/?comment=559#comment-559Comment by bruno.braga for Hello, I have a script that I run in i3 config using exec.
