Hi Stefan,
Please try this parameter:
Code: Select all
xdotool key Num_Lock Caps_Lock; setxkbmap -option caps:none; xmodmap -e 'keycode 77 ='
Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for your swift response
Added this line to settings report, but result is not as expected:
num lock on, but still able to switch it on and off
caps lock off, still able to switch it on and off
Using kiosk 4.5
Any idea?

Sorry - forgot to mention that you need to use 'run_command=' parameter:
Code: Select all
run_command=xdotool key Num_Lock Caps_Lock; setxkbmap -option caps:none; xmodmap -e 'keycode 77 ='
If your num lock is on by default then you need to remove 'Num_Lock' string from 'run_command=' otherwise it will be toggled.
