Re: Help needed: disabling system wide the Caps lock key in GNOME/Xwayland

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I had that issue recently, the way I sorted it was with gsettings/dconf:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['ctrl:nocaps']"

I suspect this is what gnome-tweaks does. Actually as far as I know, Wayland still sources xkb files, it's not very much documented but I recall having found a few places suggesting that (I use stock F38 with Gnome and Wayland).

And thus see: man xkeyboard-config for a list of options which can be set, which is a bit wider than what gnome-tweaks propose.
