# xmodmap
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I use xmodmap with xcape to make Caps Lock function as Escape when pressed and Ctrl when held down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `xorg-xmodmap` - Used to make caps lock work as ctrl
|
||
|
|
- `xcape` - Used to make caps lock work as escape
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
make package=xmodmap
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start `xmodmap` in one of your init scripts, like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
# Make caps lock work as ctrl
|
||
|
|
xmodmap ~/.xmodmap
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make caps lock work as Escape, start xcape as well:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
# Make caps lock (left ctrl) work as escape
|
||
|
|
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape'
|
||
|
|
```
