Similar to the other revert commits, I may want to do some programming in xorg, where xcape and xmodmap are useful. |

xmodmap
xmodmap is used to change the functionality of keys on your keyboard.
Use Cases
xmodmap can be used to:
- Make Caps Lock function as Ctrl when held down
- Used with xcape to make Caps Lock function as Escape when pressed
You should not use xmodmap if:
- You do not need to modify keys
Usage
Run xmodmap ~/.xmodmap in one of your init scripts to make Caps Lock function as Ctrl when held down.
Then, use xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape' to make Caps Lock (left Ctrl) function as Escape when pressed.
