    Remapping capslock - wasn't solved yet!

    I don't want the capslock key to be disabled completely. I want it to change layout, and only it. Without lightening this LED on the keyboard and doing usual capslock task. I am already saying that the usual
    Code:
    xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"
    didn't do it for me. All things I've tried either disable capslock completely or turning it on with 2 features: rolling layout AND enabling/disabling this LED on the keyboard. I want just to switch layout.

    And I've googled. Really.

    Thanks.

    What do you intend to remap it to?

    I found the way to do what I wanted:

    1. Create ~/.Xmodmap (~ is your home directory)

    2. Write the following in Xmodmap:
    Code:
    clear Lock
    keycode 66 = ISO_Next_Group
    3. Logout

    That's it!
