Hi,

I have a laptop that binds physical caps lock to control key, and physical control key to "Hyper" key.
And I use xmodmap to do the trick:

Code:

clear lock
clear control
clear mod1
clear mod3
clear mod4

keycode 37 = Hyper_L
keycode 66 = Control_L

add mod1 = Alt_L

add control = Control_L
add control = Control_R

add mod3 = Hyper_L
add mod3 = Hyper_R

add mod4 = Super_L
add mod4 = Super_R

For now this setting applies to both my laptop keyboard and an external keyboard and both of them works fine.

But I'm considering purchasing a HHKB pro2, which has its control key places on the place where a caps lock usually takes.
(see the keyboard layout here: https://elitekeyboards.com/proddata/doc/hhkbp2_basic_layout.png)
So I cannot apply the same config on this keyboard and need a separate keyboard config for this keyboard.

Is xmodmap capable of doing this? Or can you recommend me some othre solutions? Thanks.
