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

They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
