I have found many answers to this question, but none worked for me.

I'm using xubuntu 15.04.

I'm trying to swap the ctrl and alt keys.

I have tried that : How to swap Command and Control keys with xkb step by step?

Nothing seems to change.

That, using altwin:ctrl_alt_win : How do you remap a key to the Caps Lock key in Xubuntu?

It works, but only temporary... So i tried to add alt win:ctrl_alt_win to /etc/default/keyboard and then dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration but nothing changes.

Is there a simple and clean way to do that ?

Thanks

Quick answer: instead of alt win:ctrl_alt_win, you should use ctrl:swap_lalt_lctl to swap alt and ctrl keys.

Reference: type man keyboard, deep in, and you will find file /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/xorg.lst contains options you need.
