im trying to get this working for KDE:
Mapping Caps Lock to simultaneous Esc and Super (Mod4). I used it a lot with gnome and it works really well.
I made a new entry in evdev.xml and evdev.lst just to be sure. (that same text as custom opts Ben davis is referring to). I get the working sort of, but just pressing the capslock (meta) gets the focus of the kickoff menu or (activate application launcher widget) but i can’t seem to unbind this key anywhere…
Can you help me with this?
Thank you for your time.
Hi @Arnoud, and welcome!
AFAIK that’s the default behaviour for pressing the Meta key. But you can change the hortcut for it, or remove it.
Simply Right-click on the menu and select Configure…:

Click the button I’ve marked 1 to reemove it, Apply, close the window and the shortcut should be removed.

Thanks for replying, and taking the time for this! Thank you for the welcome!
unfortunately it doesn’t work, i already emptied it the shortcut, it’s not called excalibur but just activate application launcher. it already was empty. i emptied it at the system-settings. I even emptied the other Show alternatives but everyone activates at this default behaviour of just pressing the meta key.
the shortcut seems it’s a lot deeper into the system activated or something.
any other ideas?
