Setxkbmap installation is lost when I switch keyboard layout in Ubuntu 16.04

Question

I set my Caps Lock as Ctrl in Ubuntu 16.04 using: setxkbmap -option 'caps:ctrl_modifier' But when I change the keyboard from En to Cs, Caps Lock becomes Caps Lock again, not Ctrl.

To fix this, I have to execute the above command setxkbmapagain from the terminal.

How can I make the setting permanent even if I switch keyboard layouts?

Answer 1

To make the parameters setxkbmap set permanent, add them /etc/default/keyboardas follows:

--- a/etc/default/keyboard
+++ b/etc/default/keyboard

 XKBMODEL="pc105"
