dotfiles

This repository contains my personal dotfiles and setup scripts for configuring a my dev env on Linux (usually Debian Stable).

Keyboard Tweaks

Caps Lock as Ctrl & Esc

To remap the Caps Lock key to act as Ctrl when held and Esc when tapped:

1. Edit the keyboard configuration:

   sudo gedit /etc/default/keyboard

   Set the following option:

   XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"

2. Add this to your ~/.xprofile:

   ps aux | grep -i '[x]cape' && killall -9 xcape
   hash xcape 2>&1 >/dev/null && xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape' -t 100 &

⚠️ TODO: Migrate from xcape to keyd for better key remapping support.
