I have this set up as a startup script, but it only sometimes triggers, despite setting a 20-second delay:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 2
xmodmap -e "clear lock"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Return"

I have the startup command set to bash "path/Remap_Caps_Lock_to_Enter.sh". What’s going on? It works when I press the triangle button when it doesn’t work on boot.

    The first and foremost I see unclear is the PATH and PWD. That is, the environment. For starters:

    1. Have you tried passing full paths to the executables?
    2. Have you tried recovering the PATH with /usr/bin/env via Shebang?

    What if the “start” script doesn’t find the locations due to missing definitions/locations as a result of different environment if compared to your shell/process you test on?
