For the life of me, I just can not figure out how to bind caps lock to the number pad 0. By this I mean whenever I hit caps lock, it actually registers as number pad 0.

I want to do this to remap a hotkey in a game I play on Linux. On windows, I simply use autohotkey, on Linux no such things and all the tools I see on Linux like autokey and such I have no idea how to use and can not find any documentation that mentions how to do what I wanted.

Help, please.

This could work (run in a terminal):

xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = KP_0"

You can discover the keycode or keyname by using xev.

Numlock needs to be on. If it's off, the 0 key may be named KP_insert.

There's a great answer to a similar question here (askubuntu) and it covers in some detail how you can use xmodmap and xev to achieve your goal.
