The xmodmap manpage has the following for swapping the left control
and capslock:
!
! Swap Caps_Lock and Control_L
!
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L
I'm *guessing* that if you use just the first command, you'll either
get a plain shift key or a disabled key.
On the other hand, there is another entry in the manpage for the
'clear' command:
clear MODIFIERNAME
This removes all entries in the modifier map for the given mod-
ifier, where valid name are: Shift, Lock, Control, Mod1, Mod2,
Mod3, Mod4, and Mod5 (case does not matter in modifier names,
although it does matter for all other names). For example,
``clear Lock'' will remove all any keys that were bound to the
shift lock modifier.
It looks like this is a little more definitive, so feeding the
following into xmodmap should turn the key off altogether:
clear Lock
Can't hurt too much to experiment for the right affect.
