I seem to be the only one who actually uses caps lock on a regular basis. I've found plenty of details on mapping caps lock to something else, but nothing on how to map a key to caps lock.

On the Chromebook Pixel, the search key opens up Ubuntu Home. How can I map that to caps lock? The search key seems to be mapped to Super.

I've tried /usr/bin/setxkbmap -option "super:caps" according to a modified version of this answer but no results.

Adding the following to ~/.Xmodmap fixed this:

keysym Super_L = Caps_Lock
