Swap ctrl and capslock u

Guix
1

Is there a way to use system.scm to swap ctrl and caps lock in guix?

I have the following in my system config

(operating-system
  (locale ...)
  (timezone ...)
  (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "us" "alt-intl"
                                    #:options '("ctrl:nocaps")))
  (host-name "marvin")
  ;; ...
)

This does not swap, but makes my caps lock key a another control. I would guess that using ctrl:swapcaps would achieve what you want.

I haven’t used guix system, my guess is that you need to configure your desktop ( I swap ctrl and caps in sway using guix home), or if you are using your os without a desktop maybe editing .inputrc ( I haven’t tried it).

@mirkoh it would be better to set in a lower level but in the graphical context I would do the following:

If you use X, you could run xmodmap to change the keys after login.
Not sure if the situation under wayland improved but How to customise keyboard mappings with Wayland - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange should get you going.
