I followed the instruction here by defining my own xkbsymbols (Use setxkbmap to swap the Left Shift and Left Control)

partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "replace_Menu_Capslock" {
    replace key <COMP>  { [ Caps_Lock ] };
    replace key <CAPS>  { [ Control_L ] };
};

The menu key now becomes Caps_Lock, but I can't get the Caps_Lock as Left Control work. Please help.

After trial and error, I finally done with this:partial modifier_keys xkb_symbols "replace_Menu_Capslock" { replace key { [ Control_R ]}; replace key { [ Caps_Lock ] }; replace key { [ Control_R, Control_R ] }; modifier_map Control { Control_L, }; }; Still it would be good to know why? – Eric Oct 08 '14 at 01:35
