on a forum i found this solution, that work on my computer

just create an executable file with this content (and run the magic
command if you loose ctrl or other keys ...

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/xmodmap - << XXX
clear shift
add shift = Shift_L Shift_R
clear lock
add lock = Caps_Lock
clear control
add control = Control_L Control_R
clear mod1
add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
clear mod2
add mod2 = Num_Lock
