I currently have the following line in my ~/.bashrc to swap caps lock and esc: /usr/bin/setkbmap -option "caps:swapescape". Sometimes, when I boot up my computer, it works flawlessly. Other times caps lock still works as caps lock and esc still works as esc.
What might be going on here? Is this line reverting the mapping every time I boot up, so it will alternate working and not working?
Thank you! Please let me know if you have a better alternative. I'm running Debian (Pop!_os).
