| | Debian Linux has a relatively smart way of configuring keyboard input through the /etc/default/keyboard file (manual page). This file powers both the kernel configuration, the virtual console, and the X Window System. I set the XKBOPTIONS directive in /etc/default/keyboard follows: 1 XKBOPTIONS='compose:ralt,ctrl:nocaps' This has the following meaning: Make the right alt key a compose key. Make the caps lock key another ctrl key. A slew of other rules are available through XKB as described in the /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.
