I am running Fedora KDE Live off a USB (installed usng Refus), and which has a System>System setings>Workplace>Shortcuts>Standard shortcuts that lists ctrl+c (copy) and offers you the option of changing the Alternative (which was ctrl+Ins), and I changeds it to CapsLock and hit Apply. But it does not work yet.

Maybe i need to install Fedora KDE (I unplug my Windows drives and use an old HD plugged in with a USB adapter, which I install Linux on, and afterwards plug in my Windows drives, and then keep tapping the F11 key during boot up, which provides a options to boot from different sources).

KDE also has whole section dedicated to changing what CapsLock does under System Settings, but no options to change it to ctrl+c (though yuou can change it to ctrl).

Yet I also want to make the middle mouse key to do ctrl+x, which my AutoHotKey script also does.

This may hold some promise if needed:

Note Xmodmap no longer works in some newer distros.

I hope things are not as bad as this user laments:

Came across this helpful list for Windows which I am posting to myself for the future:

But only God can “remap” humans.
