Remap Caps Lock to Left Control on Linux and Windows

| Björn Roberg

How to remap Caps Lock to Left Control.

Why? Because it is more ergonomic, and the default function of the Caps Lock key is pretty meh.


Debian/Linux (and probably other linuxes)

# /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="caps:ctrl_modifier"

BACKSPACE="guess"

Windows

Use SharpKeys
