How to remap CAPS LOCK on Wayland?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Before Fedora switched to Wayland I used this .Xmodmap file to use my CapsLock Key to reach German Umlauts:
keycode 66 = Mode_switch Multi_key
keycode 20 = minus underscore ssharp
keycode 34 = bracketleft braceleft udiaeresis Udiaeresis
keycode 47 = semicolon colon odiaeresis Odiaeresis
keycode 48 = apostrophe quotedbl adiaeresis Adiaeresis
On Wayland this does not work any more - CapsLock would just work as before.
Is there a way to achieve the same result in Wayland, too?

For gnome you can use
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['caps:ctrl_modifier']"
While the preferred way for X is now
setxkbmap -option caps:ctrl_modifier
instead of xmodmap i believe. See this bugreport

@djsumdog, the trick anon gave for wayland is gnome-shell specific. sway would have to implement their own version of this setting. alot of features that were handled by X11 will have to be handled by the window manager from now on.

For completeness: Under KWin/KDE you can remap Caps-Lock (and a few other control keys) quite flexibly using System settings → Input Devices → Keyboard → Advanced.
In particular you can set the Key to choose the 3rd level to Caps Lock to achieve your particular configuration.
– Much better than using Alt Gr when programming and losing Caps Lock in return is not really a loss at all.
(Die deutsche Bezeichnung ist übrigens: Systemeinstellungen → Eingabegeräte → Tastatur → Erweitert → Taste zum Wechsel in die dritte Tastaturebene → Feststelltaste.)
