# System-Wide Capslock and Escape Swap
|
||||
|
||||
This works everywhere, including in a bare-ass tty.
|
||||
|
||||
Select a keymap, and create a new custom map.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
su root
|
||||
|
||||
basemap=/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/pl1.map.gz
|
||||
newmap=/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/custom.map.gz
|
||||
|
||||
gunzip -c $basemap | \
|
||||
sed 's/Caps_Lock/\n/g;s/Escape/Caps_Lock/g;s/\n/Escape/g' | \
|
||||
gzip > $newmap
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tell the system to use this keymap at startup by naming it in the `rc.conf` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo "KEYMAP=$newmap" >> /etc/rc.conf
|
||||
|
||||
cat /etc/rc.conf
|
||||
reboot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Set Layout with X Display
|
||||
|
||||
Set layout to British English.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
setxkbmap -layout gb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or Polish with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
setxkbmap -layout pl
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Language | short |
|
||||
|:--------|:------|
|
||||
| Polish | pl |
|
||||
| Serbian | rs |
|
||||
|
||||
Set 'alt + shift', as the command which cycles through the British English, Polish and Serbian keyboard layout.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
setxkbmap -layout gb,pl,rs -option grp:alt_shift_toggle
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Alt_GR
|
||||
|
||||
Remap, e.g., the right Windows key, to Alt_Gr.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
key <RWIN> {[ ISO_Level3_Shift ]};
|
||||
```
