System configuration for different keyboard options on a per-physical keyboard basis

System configuration for different keyboard options on a per-physical keyboard basis

[P. p. phalantha]

Hi all,

I am running the GNU Guix operating system on my laptop. I want to swap
caps lock with control (ctrl:swapcaps) when using the laptop keyboard, but
not when using a bluetooth external keyboard. Is there a way to configure
this behavior? Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Ning

Not really guix specific answer, but I'm pretty sure you could achieve using
this setxkbmap's --device parameter. The device ID should be possible to get
from xinput list.
