From 2517ed8672440ecbe0a367b5558e390cc59aef69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: i-c-u-p <96894903+i-c-u-p@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2022 00:31:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] remove xmodmap from remaps script (#1109) Uses the "altwin:menu" option from setxkbmap to map the menu key to right super instead of xmodmap, which is deprecated. setxkbmap's options can be viewed with "man xkeyboard-config". Also tried to make the comment for the xset rate change more helpful. --- .local/bin/remaps | 12 +++++------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/.local/bin/remaps b/.local/bin/remaps index 3cb41e4..c95ac84 100755 --- a/.local/bin/remaps +++ b/.local/bin/remaps @@ -1,13 +1,11 @@ #!/bin/sh # This script is called on startup to remap keys. -# Increase key speed via a rate change +# Decrease key repeat delay to 300ms and increase key repeat rate to 50 per second. xset r rate 300 50 -# Map the caps lock key to super... -setxkbmap -option caps:super -# But when it is pressed only once, treat it as escape. +# Map the caps lock key to super, and map the menu key to right super. +setxkbmap -option caps:super,altwin:menu_win +# When caps lock is pressed only once, treat it as escape. killall xcape 2>/dev/null ; xcape -e 'Super_L=Escape' -# Map the menu button to right super as well. -xmodmap -e 'keycode 135 = Super_R' -# Turn off the caps lock if on since there is no longer a key for it. +# Turn off caps lock if on since there is no longer a key for it. xset -q | grep "Caps Lock:\s*on" && xdotool key Caps_Lock
