Can you try reverting this patch: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=a67513655bfaa0bb0b5bdb536eea1de367b84194 I guess that broke your config: xkb_symbols "swapcaps" { replace key <CAPS> { [ Control_L ] }; replace key <LCTL> { [ Caps_Lock ] }; + modifier_map Control { <CAPS> }; + modifier_map Lock { <LCTL> }; }; If so, please contact Michal Suchanek (email is on the commit page) Yes, that works, I've contacted Michal. Great. Once you have the solution that makes you both happy - please submit a patch! -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.

I have my caps lock key as control and my left control key as my compose key, and I accomplish this by: setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps -option compose:lctrl After upgrading to 2.22, this command started having a different effect: my left control key is now *both* a compose key and a caps lock key. As a result, caps lock toggles on and off every time I use the compose key. Is this expected behavior? If yes, is there an alternative way to achieve the keyboard layout I desire? I am using the `us` layout, no variant, and no options other than those described above.
