Source .Xmodmap on startup

pegasuslatte

Hello, good folks of Solus!

I need to remap a key to Super_L, which seems super simple, but I can't for the life of me able to source .Xmodmap on startup. At first I thought I only need to have the file in $HOME dir, as stated in the Arch Wiki and also as this line is in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc:

usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
...
if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

But apparently according to this diff gnome-session will overwrite the keymap so I need to have an autostart script to source it.

So I tried both of this to no avail:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Remap
Description=
Exec=xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap

and

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Remap
Description=
Exec=/usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap

I also created a shell script for the command:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -f $HOME/.Xmodmap ]; then
  /usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
fi

then execute that shell script instead on the autostart script, which also fails.

Any ideas what I should do? DE is Budgie.

Thanks!
