I like XFCE, but i welcome you to remap (not suggest how) the specific keys as I described .

I already did--I did it before I responded to you to be sure it could be done. IT took me all of thirty seconds to remap those keys.

Within XFCE:

1. Choose Settings
2. Settings Manager
3. Keyboard
4. Application Shortcuts
5. Add (This is at the bottom of the list)
6. Within the Command: window, type in the command you want to shortcut (ctrl-c, etc. Actually spell it out, don't just hit ctrl-c)
7. Click OK
8. hit CapsLock
9. You're done

Thanks! I hope to try this next time I install XFCE. FR shows itself superior to the many Linux forums I asked about this, and actually spelling it out vs just hitting ctrl-c must be a needful qualifier. Does this retain the setting past sessions?

Hi. I am in Linux Mint right now, in which I installed the XFCE desktop, 4.,10, and and running under it now. However, though I followed your directions to the “T” yet after typing in ctrl-c in the command box and then hititng CapsLock, I get “Failed to launch shortcuts “CapsLock.” Failed to execute child process “ctrl-c” (No such file or directory)” whenever I hit CapsLock.

I deleted it and tries it as ctrl—c but that also did the same thing. Nor could i remap Esc to ctrl-v. It was registered, but hitting Esc will not paste anything i copied.

I will try rebooting.
