hello!
you are using Guix-system, right? you might want to add some extra
X.org-configuration to your systems declaration. for example, if you're
using the Slim login-manager, here's a snippet from my
Guix-system-declaration which makes X.org map caps-lock to ctrl while
using the german keyboard layout:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(slim-service
#:startx (xorg-start-command
#:configuration-file (xorg-configuration-file
#:extra-config (list
"Section \"InputClass\"
Identifier \"Keyboard Defaults\"
MatchIsKeyboard \"on\"
Option \"XkbLayout\" \"de\"
Option \"XkbOptions\" \"ctrl:nocaps\"
EndSection"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
how do you start EXWM? if you start it with an ~/.xsession file, that's
also a good place to put your keyboard-initialization code in, as far as
i know.
ciao
