I would love to be able to switch keyboard layout with Caps Lock, how can I do it?
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.

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:nocapsBTW, 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.
As 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 = Escapeclear Lockdisables the CapsLock key
keycode 66 = Escape maps CapsLock to Escape. For me it did not work with mapping by name, so had to map it's keycode directly.
