- patrec 4y agoDoes this allow overloading capslocks to both control (as modifier) and esc (when pressed in isolation)?
- ziml77 4y agoI don't know how people put escape there. For me it's a common key to accidentally press. I don't want to accidentally be pressing escape and closing out of dialogs and whatnot. On my desktop keyboard I've actually mapped the caps lock key to F13, which I only ever use for activating push-to-talk since it's easy enough to reach and an accidental tap doesn't really matter since it would only transmit for a fraction of a second.
- patrec 4y agoWell, I take it you are not a vim user? :) There is no other reason to put Escape there. If I didn't use vim, I'd use the CapsLock key just for Control and not also for Escape.
- rhaway84773 4y agoI use input-mapper on Linux to achieve the same. It’s truly a game changer. Converting 1 useless but highly accessible key into 2 useful ones is fantastic. https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper
