When I plug an external keyboard into my laptop (which runs Xubuntu 18.04), I have to run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap to apply the changes to the second keyboard also. This bothers me.
Here is my .Xmodmap:
! change CapsLock to Escape
clear Lock
keycode 0x42 = Escape
This is supposed to make Caps Lock work like Escape, and works well for the attached keyboard. But when I plug in my USB keyboard in the live system, its Caps Lock does not act like Escape, but still like Caps Lock. I have to run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap again, to also change the Caps Lock key of the USB keyboard.
If the USB keyboard is plugged in at boot time, there is no problem.
Is there a way to do this automatically, when a keyboard is plugged in?

@red_trumpet so when you connect your externel keyboard..the physical kyes and its functions are same? Even though you have swapped Caps Lock and Esc?? do you want solution for this swapping case or really need to run a command when external keyboard is plugged in? What is your Ubuntu Version?
