I was trying to remap
Caps Lock
key to Control
in freshly installed POP_OS!. Most of the posts online mentioned to use gnome-tweak-tool
but turns out it’s been replaced with gnome-tweaks
sometime back. Here are the commands to install it.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
Open the
gnome-tweaks
program from Application Launcher (it will be called Tweaks
in the application menu).Click on
Keyboard & Mouse
in the side bar and then select the Additional Layout Options
button.Click on the
Ctrl position
drop-downChoose
Caps Lock as Ctrl
option or any other option which fit your needs.![notion image](https://www.notion.so/image/https%3A%2F%2Ffile.notion.so%2Ff%2Ff%2Fd40afb1e-7269-441f-b3c8-59a769c7c479%2F578c160b-51bd-4ef3-b559-67743ce6a4d0%2FUntitled.png%3Fid%3Dbda2d55f-0503-4ba7-8be2-d350d9728369%26table%3Dblock%26spaceId%3Dd40afb1e-7269-441f-b3c8-59a769c7c479%26expirationTimestamp%3D1722088800000%26signature%3DQ3j4OlCa1Uj_GLFpFY0CMpID2v-xjA94-6LkHEN2K4w?table=block&id=bda2d55f-0503-4ba7-8be2-d350d9728369&cache=v2)
