How to make caps-lock an additional ctrl?

  • 772

How do I remap caps-lock to an additional ctrl?

I have tried to modify /etc/default/keyboard and reboot:

XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"

After doing that, ctrl became caps-lock which I don't want.

gnome keyboard 18.04

    From one of my previous answer, there is a few change:

    1. Install gnome-tweak-tool

      sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool

    2. Start gnome-tweaks

      gnome-tweaks

    3. Go to Keyboard & mouse -> Additional Layout Options (refered as Options supplémentaires d'agencement on my screenshot) -> CapsLock Behavior

    4. Change CapsLock from Deleted to CapsLock is also Ctrl

    enter image description here

    1. Change CapsLock from Desativated to CapsLock is also Ctrl (refered as Verr. maj. est également Ctrl on my screenshot)

    enter image description here

    This is the GUI way, using gnome-tweak-tool, I don't know if it fits your goal
