Hey All,
New here.
I tried poking around to disable caps lock- went into the xmodmaprc file and uncommented"clear lock" [or something like that]- Restarted X and restarted Icewm....and the stoopit[sic] caps lock is still working. HELP! This is only my 2nd time booting-up Antix. First thing I do in any distro, is disable caps lock....

IIRC, you need to actually run xmodmap and point it to the file you edited for it to work.
A permanent solution is to edit (as root) /etc/default/keyboard file and change the XKBOPTIONS line to:
This will turn Caps-Lock into another Ctrl key. All the possible options are in the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst. This change is permanent but you have to restart the X-server for it to take effect (log out of X and log in again). If you want the change now or just for testing then run:from inside a terminal window.

Code: Select all
XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"Code: Select all
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps-

Thank you!!
I've done it before in different distros...but they seem to always put the file one needs to edit in a different place; and call it something different! ! ( I think in my last one, it was /openbox/config/autostart.sh)
I restarted X and Icewm....but it didn't work, for some reason, until I rebooted.
Ah! Now I'm happy!
