| Aug 22, 2015 at 21:25 | comment | added | don_crissti | Well, ... the title says : "How do I enable Shift Lock? (Sticky shift key)" and the answer is "use setxkbmap with shift:both_shiftlock" though what you actually want is to shiftlock with a custom key (or custom key combo) | |
| Aug 22, 2015 at 21:10 | comment | added | oals | @don_crissti I'm confused. The question and its title match my answer -- the only difference is the tool used. setxkbmap apparently does not have the capability to get sticky shift keys except in two specific configurations. | |
| Aug 22, 2015 at 20:08 | comment | added | don_crissti | In that case please edit your question title to reflect the answer (and re-tag it xmodmap) as otherwise the obvious answer is to use the shift:both_shiftlock | |
