For reasons we won't discuss, I want the caps lock key on my keyboard to map to the 'end' key instead.
On Windows, it's just an AutoHotKey script. On Linux? Literally impossible. I've spent days dicking with various config files, rebooting and relogging dozens of times. Even got so desperate I asked chatgpt. Gave up after a week or two.
To anyone else reading this: this is not an invitation for fixes. Whatever you're going to suggest, I've already tried it and I'm super not interested in any opinions about it.
- btreecat 2y agoFortunately posting about it publicly is akin to asking for more engagement. No mention if you tried to compile the firmware, or use the custom mapping configuration available to your keyboard, what kind of keyboard you have, or what specifically hasn't worked.

- j-bos 2y agoNo fix, just a hope spot, I did this with mutiple keys, including caps key.
- FragenAntworten 2y agoI wanted this exact thing (Caps Lock -> End), and https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd works. It runs in the background as a systemd service, and the config is just: $ cat /etc/keyd/default.conf [ids] * [main] capslock = end (I got excited that someone else likes the same keybinding I do and wanted to share, and only then saw "not an invitation for fixes". Well, maybe it'll help someone else.)
