Remap keyboard

In Ubuntu, I need to map:

• My left Super button to Control, keep the right Super as is
• CapsLock to Control

• Create new startup app ~/.config/autostart/xmodmap.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Xmodmap
Comment=xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
Exec=/home/triet/.xinitrc
Icon=application-default-icon
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Type=Application

• .xinitrc content

#!/bin/sh
# Need to sleep a few seconds for the OS to regconize all the keyboards
sleep 10;
setxkbmap -option caps:ctrl_modifier
xmodmap /home/triet/.Xmodmap

• Use setxkbmap instead of Gnome Tweak because Gnome Tweak will set a new keyboard profile which will revert all the previous mapping
• Allow to execute .xinitrc

chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc

• User xmodmap to map the Super key. Add a .Xmodmap

clear control
add Control = Control_L Control_R
remove mod4 = Super_L
add Control = Super_L
