termux x11 not recognizing external keyboard keymappings
hi! i am running termux on a galaxy tab s9 with the book cover keyboard case. in the android system settings i have remapped CAPS LOCK to CTRL but it doesn't seem to be picking up in xfce native desktop or proot debian. do i need to do any additional configuration to get those desktop environments to pick up the keybind?

Double-check what you set the keyboard layout to. Termux, by default, assumes you are using a standard US English QWERTY layout.
Termux:X11 does not look at keyboard mappings, it works with raw key codes. In the case if your keyboard mapping does not modify key code layout it (modified external keyboard keymapping) will not work termux-x11. X11 has its own instruments for this purpose, like
xmodmap.
