GNOME 3.14 Caps Lock

Hi.

After upgrade to 3.14 the system doesn't remember the changes of Caps Lock behaviour. The attempt to remap/turn off the key using both the basic and advanced GUI tools fails -- Caps Lock continue to bear the default behaviour.

Do you observe the same issue? How can I remap/turn off Caps Lock?

Thanks.

Re: GNOME 3.14 Caps Lock

I'm not running Gnome at the moment, but from what I remember you can disable gnome-settings-daemon's keyboard plugin so Gnome stops managing your keyboard's settings. Than you can use setxkbdmap command to set your desired options. Of course you have to put it in some script that gets executed when you start X, like .xinitrc or somewhere in ~/.config/autostart/.
