I set up a linux trick recently where the caps lock key that's already being remapped as control when it's held down is also set up to emit an ESC when it's pressed and released using xcape. Works quite nicely, but I don't know if complex behavior like that can be implemented as a hardware mapping.
- PurpleRamen 8y agoYes, they call it Dual-role keys. On their blog there is a recent update about how this is now also visualized in their configuration-software. Seems the firmware and their configuration-tool is quite powerful.
- oneeyedpigeon 8y agoUsed to be able to do this on macOS until the latest release broke karabiner. Hoping that, one day, this will be an os feature.
- codethief 8y agoI did the same thing, albeit with my space key. If I press it shortly, it now acts as Ctrl key. This was literally the best thing I ever did to fight my RSI-like symptoms.
- linsomniac 8y agoOoh, gotta do this on my laptop! I have an Ergodox and have z and / set up to be control if I hold them, and the key left of a is Esc or GUI (I use GUI a lot for i3wm). I'll have to try this with the laptop, thanks!
- Graziano_M 8y agoI do the same on OSX using Karabiner. I cannot live without it.
