mgsloan: That's pretty awful indeed, because applying these keyboard
settings locks up all keyboard input for multiple seconds. (depending on
how many settings you need to apply)

If your xmodmap settings are idempotent, then an awful yet effective
solution to this is to use inotifywait to detect additions to
/dev/input, and rerun xmodmap when this occurs.
Here's a script: https://github.com/mgsloan/mgsloan-
One last comment. For those not using a standard DE, most solutions
don't work well, but running `X` with the `-arinterval` and `-ardelay`
flags will solve the repeat issue.

I've been doing a little more investigating. I'm pretty sure this issue
is this:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25262
So, if I understand this correctly, this won't/can't be fixed in X and
has to be handled by your desktop environment.
It does seem to me that there probably is a
I'm not running Ubuntu anymore, but I can confirm that this is a problem
in Debian Stretch (and was an issue in Debian Jessie). I see similar
behavior for keyboard rates set via `xset r rate`. Plugging in the USB
keyboard resets the keyboard settings. Suspending while a USB keyboard
is plugged in
Can someone suggest how to fix this properly? I'm happy spend the time
understanding some code and sending a patch.
My reproduction:
- my ~/.xprofile has the following line which turns caps into a Control_L key:
`xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap`[1]
- I have a bluetooth keyboard for my 14.04LTS ubuntu machine
Still a problem with trusty 14.04. I use a usb switch to multiplex
input devices between different machines and each time that I switch, I
use all my custom settings are lost:
setxkbmap -layout de -model pc105 -variant nodeadkeys -option
ctrl:nocaps,compose:menu
xkbset sticky -twokey
I can confirm this bug is still existing in 13.10 Ubuntu.
Used Xmodmap to remap alt and super keys on an Apple Keyboard. This is
connected to my computer through the USB hub on my display. Whenever the
display is turned off Ubuntu forgets about the Xmodmap settings.

I am also experiencing this problem on Ubuntu 13.04. My workaround was
to modify the keycodes in /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev directly.

Continues to be a problem under 13.04. Running Xubuntu.

to set capslock as an extra escape, it does not appear that it offers
the option to set escape as an extra capslock; at least, not that I

@evaned this command makes capslock a super modifier (aka windows key):

Broken here with x64 12.04 too. It's *extremely* annoying as I have a
cheap KVM switch between two computers and every time I switch, I have a
broken xmodmap.

xmodmap settings not getting honored when keyboard devices are hotplugged
After many hours, I found a workaround for this problem.
The first workaround I tried was adding a rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/ to
run xmodmap automatically when the keyboard is plugged in. This works,
but not on a consistent basis. It seems to depend on the timing of when

Same for me on Karmic with my TopSeed Tech Corp. USB IR Combo Device.

I can confirm this behavior is present in Jaunty on a Macbook Pro 1,2.
The internal keyboard remembers its state, but external ones will lose

JFTR: It seems to me that this bug is related to bug #295990. It's not
a duplicate though, one deals with XKB and the other with xmodmap. But
maybe a similar fix can be used in both cases.

Seeing this as well, but with my desktop. If I unplug and replug the
