Xkb remap after automatic suspend

Hello.

I want to set Capslock as an extra Ctrl key. In Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart, I added the following command to be executed at login:

setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps"

This works well. However, when the computer gets suspended automatically due to inactivity, the Capslock goes back to being Capslock upon wake-up. Although I can run the above command on the terminal and get the desired remap, this shouldn't be the optimal solution.

If you are going to suggest an alternative way to remap, please note that I do not have root access.

Thanks!
