Spoke too soon. This is driving me nuts. There seems to be no way to get my remapping of caps lock as ctrl to work (although it worked once!).
I've tried a bunch of remote desktops: mate, xfce, lxqt. I've tried setting on x2go client I/O to configure keyboard, don't configure keyboard, auto- detect. I've tried in the x2go session various ways to configure the keyboard. The best I can manage is that caps lock does nothing (the worst I can get is caps lock is stuck on and can't be turned off). I'm baffled. I'm not an X expert, but if I run xev within the x2go session and hit capslock I see something about a keysym "capslock". So the concept of capslock is being propagated to the remote session. But I can't seem to remap it to do anything (like ctrl as I want) either through any gui keyboard config, or using setxkbmap. The current setxkbmap state is (as told by the remote session) setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: us options: ctrl:nocaps,caps:ctrl_modifier Neal Becker wrote: > One other issue: > I've had problems with my keyboard layout for a long time under X11.
