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.
Rebooting did not help. I do not know why this remapping CapsLock worked for you. This is Linux Mint 17.1, 32 bit.
