I gave up on all this a long time ago. I have to use PCs with many OS's, and
figuring out how to remap the keys on each one is too much of a time waster.
Instead, you can buy a very nice keyboard in the classic IBM tradition --
heavy, great touch, tactile/audible feedback, i.e. just like IBM keyboards
were before the advent of the cheesy $5 keyboard, but with Ctrl/Caps Lock
swapped and also Esc swapped with Grave/Tilde:

For this layout you want the "Linux II" model.
