Can confirm. I also tried to manually invoke the setting: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['ctrl:nocaps']"
Doesn't work, too. My current workaround is using setxkbmap directly: $ setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1903483 Title: "Caps Lock is also a Ctrl" setting stops working when connecting an external keyboard Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Tweaks, I've set the "Caps Lock is also a Ctrl" setting. However, when I connect my external keyboard via USB, the setting stops taking effect. If I go to Tweaks, the setting still appears to be enabled, but I have to disable it and re-enable it to make it take effect again.
