How is this still a thing in 2019.
Just remap Caps Lock to Ctrl, problem solved.
If using Linux, simply add `ctrl:nocaps` to the XKBOPTIONS= line in /etc/default/keyboard, e.g.:
XKBOPTIONS='other:options,ctrl:nocaps'
- GrayShade 7y agoI did that, but never used it. I still find pressing Ctrl to be more comfortable because it requires less movement.
- boring_twenties 7y agoHow does it require less movement? It's directly adjacent to the A key -- only the pinky needs to move, and only one key over. To hit the key in the lower-left corner you basically have to twist your whole hand at the wrist -- not only is that more movement, it probably raises the risk of RSI to the wrist. What am I missing?
- GrayShade 7y agoI usually press Ctrl with the pad under my pinky finger (and sometimes the part of my palm below it). The way I hold my hand, this is just a tiny flick of my wrist. To press Caps Lock I would have to move and curl my pinky instead.
