把 Caps Lock 變成智慧的 Control 以及 Escape ：
- 單獨輕按一下就是 Escape 。
- 若按下時同時按著其他鍵，就會是 Control 。
這應該是 Vim 和 Emacs 的最佳解了！(Emacs? Bash 的快捷鍵就是 Emacs 系列的)
- Send Escape if you tap Caps Lock alone.
- Send Control if you press Caps Lock with another key.
For both Vim and Emacs world.
Install XCAPE (xcape). (Linux utility to configure modifier keys to act as other keys when pressed and released on their own.)
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install xcape# make CapsLock behave like Ctrl:
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
# make short-pressed Ctrl behave like Escape:
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape'The effect should apply immediately.
Append code from Step 2 to file ~/.xprofile to run the command when X starts.
- Download and install Karabiner-Elements, a powerful and stable keyboard customizer.
- Open Karabiner-Elements, select Complex Modifications tab, and click Add rule at the bottom.
- Click Import more rules from the Internet (open a web browser)
- Find Change caps_lock to dual keys, escape and left_control and click on enable.
The effect should apply immediately.
If you cannot find the rule, you can manually edit the config files at ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json, under profiles:
"rules": [
{
"description": "Post escape if caps is pressed alone, left_ctrl otherwise",
"manipulators": [
{
"from": {
"key_code": "caps_lock",
"modifiers": {
"optional": [
"any"
]
}
},
"to": [
{
"key_code": "left_control"
}
],
"to_if_alone": [
{
"key_code": "escape"
}
],
"type": "basic"
}
]
},
]
- Download and install AutoHotKey.
- Use the script CapsLockCtrlEscape.ahk.
Download and run dual-key-remap. (Note that in config.txt, CONTROL might needed to changed to LEFT_CTRL for some computers)
For both options, the effect should apply immediately.
Having done this, my CTRL works as ESC, and CAPS LOCK works as CTRL when held, but CAPS LOCK pressed alone only registers as ESC some of the time. On VIM it's less than half the time. In Firefox it seems to be about 4/5.
It should not be a problem with the physical keyboard. I tried a "key test" website and it logs the CAPS LOCK every time, but only sometimes an ESC with it. It's also a brand new Thinkpad.
I'm using Debian 12.2. Any tips?
