```bash
defaults -currentHost write -g com.apple.keyboard.modifiermapping.1452-582-0 -array-add '<dict><key>HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst</key><integer>2</integer><key>HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc</key><integer>0</integer></dict>'
```
1452-582-0 corresponds to $VendorID-$ProductID-0 as per the output of the following command:
```bash
ioreg -n IOHIDKeyboard -r | grep -e 'class IOHIDKeyboard' -e VendorID\" -e Product
# result:
# +-o IOHIDKeyboard <class IOHIDKeyboard, id 0x100000300, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 10>
# | "Product" = "Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad"
# | "VendorID" = 1452
# | "ProductID" = 582
```
