I want to turn off the CapsLock key when starting Zorin Pro. The command setxkbmap -option caps: none
basically works. However, it - entered as the start app - is not taken into account. I have to turn it off manually every time I start it.
Switching off the touchpad as a starter works perfect:
Have you tried using a different command like xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = ' . If 66 isn't the keycode for caps-lock in your device, run xmodmap -pke in terminal and find the keycode for it. Then try setting it as a startup application and be sure to enable it.
