[X2Go-User] Caps-lock key as Ctrl

[Chitresh Bhushan]

Hi,

This probably another Caps Lock problem with remote desktop applications. I
am an emacs user and I have made Caps-lock key an additional control key on
both of my computers (using similar settings as
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MovingTheCtrlKey#toc2 ). All my computers
are running Mate desktop 1.8 and Caps-lock key work as expected (i.e. as
ctrl) on both computers on local session. However, when I am connected to
the other computer using x2go pressing caps-lock key seem to do nothing at
all on remote session - pressing caps-c just prints lowercase c in terminal
(& in emacs). Checking the output on xev on remote session does show
keycode 66.

This issue is really getting into my work flow as I am a heavy emacs user.
Is there a solution or workaround? Could using a custom ~/.xmodmap resolve
the issue? I just want caps-lock key to always work as ctrl and I am fine
with totally getting rid of caps-lock behavior.

PS: Thanks a lot for developing x2go. It is really convenient piece of
software.

Thanks,
CB
