Need to change caps lock key. Name of windows key
-
I have an apple iie modded with a pi3 in it. It has an adaptor that uses a teensy to make the keyboard usb. The caps lock button is always backwards for lowercase and caps. The number keys are f keys with the caps lock button pressed down and several buttons dont work when the caps lock button is down. So i cant just deal with it being backwards. In /etc/default/keyboard i can make another button a caps lock button like:
XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:swapcaps"
The issue is all of the keys are needed except the windows key also called super key and meta key. I need to assign this key to swapcaps but i dont know the correct name to call it in this file. Any help is appreciated. It is key 125 which is listed as meta_l. However if i call it meta or meta_l it doesnt work. I am even willing know how to nullify lock as long as i can still use the key to get to fkeys

So i set the keyboard to disable caps lock completely for now with:
XKBOPTIONS="caps:none"
So if i cant swap with the meta key i am just going to leave it like this and replace the click on/off key with a standard key that the rest of the buttons use so it never gets stuck "down" which makes the number keys be f1-f10 and makes the "-_" key and the "+=" keys plus some others unuseable when the caps lock key is down. That way if i need an fkey i will hold down the caps lock key but it wont stay locked so i dont have to worry about it being stuck in that mode
