. . . best way to switch ctrl and CapsLock? I've done this for years and can never remember how.

The xinitrc file provide by Xfce, which is always parsed when you use startxfce4, will read the file "$HOME/.Xmodmap".

  $  grep -i xmodmap /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
/usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc:117:test -r $HOME/.Xmodmap && xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap

Hi mmassonnet
I'm a noob so I did'nt understand your reply. Should I write "$ grep -i xmodmap /usr/local etc " in ~/.xinitrc ?
I have always failed to disable permanently Capslock in Xfce.

You can put your xmodmap entries inside the file ~/.Xmodmap

This file is parsed automatically when running startxfce4
