Jan 22, 2021 at 13:40 comment added user313992 setupcon is part of console-setup, not of kbd. As I said, it's dumpkeys which is part of kbd. But they're both installed by default on Debian, and dumpkeys + loadkeys are present in any PC Linux distro I know of. If you stripped-down & "optimized" your system, you're in for a ride ;-) I wish you good-luck!
Jan 22, 2021 at 11:38 comment added Martin Vegter installed kbd, but still don't have setupcon command. I have rebooted, but that did not help.
Jan 22, 2021 at 11:34 comment added user313992 dumpkeys is part of the kbd package. I cannot test it right now, but I think that setupcon reloads /etc/default/keyboard. If it doesn't, then just reboot ;-)
Jan 22, 2021 at 11:30 comment added Martin Vegter adding XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps" to /etc/default/keyboard has no effect. And I don't have dumpkeys command and cannot find package to install it on Debian.
