    It makes sense to run localectl list-x11-keymap-options to see the available options instead of trying "almost every random combination". If you can't find an option that does what you want you'll have to write a new xkb option. Commented May 19, 2018 at 19:43
  • the option I'm looking for does in fact not exist. writing ones own xkb option seems rather tedious and overly complicated for a - imho - standard task as button remapping, but whatever. more importantly, the /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev file mentioned in the answer you linked says in the first line "do not edit this". whom should I trust now? (and is there no easier way?) Commented May 20, 2018 at 21:20
