Re: xmodmap doesn't before pressing any button keyboard

[stuebinm]

I also use EXWM, and made good experiences with setting keyboard 
remapping options directly in my system's config.scm (via the :options 
of keyboard-layout, which sets XKB options; see the manual for examples: 
https://guix.gnu.org/de/manual/en/html_node/Keyboard-Layout.html).

However, I just use it to remap capslock to escape (for vim/evil-mode), 
so if you need more, I'm not sure if it'll work for you — I've never 
used xmodmap, I'm not sure if you can do everything using XKB options 
that xmodmap can do — at first glance xmodmap seems more general.
