I never use Caps Locks and sometimes I activate the key.
A small “googling” help me find how to stop the key to work.
You can do it with:
xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"
If you want to reactivate it with:
xmodmap -e "add lock = Caps_Lock"
The problem with this solution is you have to redo the process for each session
So the better way to do it is to create a file in ~/.Xmodmap
and add
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = Escape
After, to apply immediatly the rule, make a
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
At each startup, the ~/.Xmodmap
is automatically executed and you never have to care again Caps Locks key
