# We can make a "virtual" game board as a list of lists. The list contains 3 other lists (rows).
# Each row list contains 3 string values representing spaces. The spaces will be populated with
# either "X" or "O", but we start with empty strings to denote an empty space.
#
# We can access a space on the board using row and column indexes. For example, the top-left space
# is `board[0][0]`, the center space is `board[1][1]`, and the bottom-right space is `board[2][2]`.

Mapping Caps Lock to simultaneous Esc and Super (Mod4)

Mapping Caps Lock to simultaneous Esc and Super (Mod4)

The CAPS key can be mapped to an escape key when pressed once, and a super (mod4) key when used in combination with other keys.

Create the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/custom_opts with the following:

// Make Caps an additional Escape
hidden partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "super_esc" {

key { [ Escape ] };
