Adjusting trackpad:

Create this .xessionrc file:
                 
# To see input devices:               
#   xinput                            
# Identify a number and list the properties
#   xinput list-props 15              
# now grep for scrollor acceleration                                     
#                                     
# faster accel                        
# Pre steam                           
#xinput --set-prop 14 324 .9          
# post steam:                         
xinput --set-prop 15 285 .8           

# inv scroll                          
# Pre Steam:                          
# xinput --set-prop 14 312 1          
# post steam:                         
xinput --set-prop 15 276 1            
 

# Fix the mouse:

xinput set-button-map `xinput list | grep 'Evoluent VerticalMouse 2' | grep -Eo 'id\=[0-9]+' | grep -oE '[0-9]+'`   3 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 1 10 11 12 13
 

Swapping Keys                     

# ctrl to caps                        
setxkbmap -layout gb -option ctrl:nocaps
 

#  swap CTRL and ALT

clear control
clear mod1
add control = Control_L Control_R
add mod1 = Alt_L
! Make LeftAlt  -> LeftControl
keycode 64  = Control_L
! Make LeftCtrl -> LeftAlt - you need the add and clears above for these to work
keycode 37 = Alt_L

 

 

Inorder to run on startup copy the above file(s) to :

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr_settings
