Bug#623218: x11-xkb-utils: add option to map ctrl to alt key



Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.6+2
Severity: wishlist


Control can be mapped to Caps Lock and the Menu key, but not to one of the alt
keys.

This makes ctrl as accessable as when it’s mapped to Caps Lock, but it puts
the additional work on the much tougher thumbs, preventing the infamous ‘emacs
pinky’.

How could I patch this? Is it trivial?
