Long live the Capslock-as-control-key master race. :)
- timtadh 11y agoemacs user! another to be expunged. all hail <esc> as caps lock! for on that day, all shall be in normal mode, on the day of text one will `export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim` -- from the book of vim 2:12
- apricot 11y agoThe best way to deal with Caps Lock is to make it a Control Key when used as a modifier (held down when another key is pressed), but Escape when typed by itself. There's a program for GNU/Linux called xscape that does exactly that.
- duerrp 11y agoThat sounds great! I am trying it right now... FYI it's here: https://github.com/alols/xcape https://github.com/alols/xcape
- mindslight 11y agoYou should be able to do that with only XKB, but Xorg XKB seems somewhat buggy and the documentation is scattered, so you'd have a bit of work ahead of you.
- rraval 11y agoI use vim and have caps lock bound to control. I use Ctrl-[ to switch to normal mode and ctrl is so much more useful outside of just vim.
