I tried to put **Caps_Lock** in the *Ibus Preferences => Keyboard Shortcuts => Next Input Method* and when I use capslock language indicator in the tray changes, but when I am trying to type, it is still capital versus non capital letters.Mon, 23 Nov 2015 15:43:24 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/7415/switch-keyboard-layout-with-caps-lock/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/7415/switch-keyboard-layout-with-caps-lock/?answer=7561#post-id-7561 You can also try the preset configuration of xkb. For example, add following line to your xsession (it maps caps to ctrl): setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps BTW, some application will overwrite the xkb configuration (eg, fcitx). So, you may need to check the wiki pages of your apps if it doesn't work.Fri, 04 Dec 2015 13:01:16 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/7415/switch-keyboard-layout-with-caps-lock/?answer=7561#post-id-7561https://faq.i3wm.org/question/7415/switch-keyboard-layout-with-caps-lock/?answer=7420#post-id-7420As I understand you would like to disable Caps_Lock entirely. To do so, I have the following lines added to my `.Xmodmap` file. clear Lock keycode 66 = Escape `clear Lock`disables the Caps_Lock key `keycode 66 = Escape` maps Caps_Lock to Escape. For me it did not work with mapping by name, so had to map it's keycode directly.Tue, 24 Nov 2015 08:47:28 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/7415/switch-keyboard-layout-with-caps-lock/?answer=7420#post-id-7420
