Remapping model M SSKs Ctrl to Hyper/Super
« on: Thu, 22 February 2018, 10:18:53 »
Hey all,

I'm new here, so I'm not 100% certain this is the right part of the forum to ask this. If not, please let me know where I should move this.

I have a model M SSK with Soarer's USB converter cable and would like to do some remapping. I've seen some example configurations, but I'm not sure how I should go about doing this particular thing:

1) I want my Caps Lock to serve as left CTRL
2) I want my left CTRL to serve as HYPER_L or SUPER_L (more or less the windows key on a typical keyboard)

I currently use Xmodmap to do this remapping globally on my i3wm Linux machine (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xmodmap#Turn_CapsLock_into_Control.2C_and_LeftControl_into_Hyper), but I'd like only this keyboard to behave this way and leave other keyboards working the way they normally would.

I'd appreciate any pointers.

Soarer gave his instructions and documents in his original post. Wcass also described a good method in reply #560

Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
