A few points:
If you think the people searching the site are going to be able to pick the version they actually want, you're being completely unrealistic. You assume people know the difference between "swap" and "remap" but based on the subtlety of the two answers, if you know that already, you know all you need to.
I do think that this needs to be a question — CapsLock works in mysterious ways — and any answer should point that out, explaining what the
swapcapsandnocapsarguments really do. The answer currently does not do this.I don't think this has anything to do with Control because it works just like any other key in respect to
setxkbmap. The question should just be about swapping/remapping CapsLock to "another" key.While we're talking about
setxkbmap, I should point out that this also has very little to do with Xubuntu. Your question and answer are valid for all graphical Ubuntu variants. I'd be inclined to ditch all the shell-specific nonsense and bring this back to something that works for everyone.We occasionally delete answers when we dupe-close so that people landing on the dupe are automatically redirected to the master question. It's not tyranny, it's logic.
