dual-key-remap VS Capslock

I prefer dual-key-remap[0], it maps caps to escape when tapped and control when pressed with other keys.

https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap this has been working like magic for me

All you need is dual mode modifiers - remap your spacebar to act as Ctrl when pressed and generate space symbol when released. You can make it with xcape on linux and with dual-key-remap on windows. It is also something for macos, but I never used it.

I use this on Windows: https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap, and it works pretty well.

I am long term fan of Space-Ctrl dual role key - must have for any emacser imo. Now I'm using https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap on windows and https://github.com/alols/xcape on Linux. Are your app has any advantages against these two?

You definitely should try dual-key-remap! I also struggled with Dual, and it was a big relief to find that gem. Just place file named config.txt near executable with that content: remap_key=SPACE when_alone=SPACE with_other=CTRL

I used to use uncap to remap caps lock. Now I use dual-key-remap so I can have ctrl and escape on the same key. Both have worked well for me and don't require admin rights.

For Windows, this was the fan favourite over AHK. https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap

Creating a Hyper Key (i.e., remapping capslock to become an additional modifier key) is a game changer! I use Capslock [1] with Karabiner Elements on macOS.

trigger a new meta key like ctr, but it's own set of mappings... see link https://github.com/Vonng/Capslock

Vonng/Capslock is a good demonstration of just how much you can do with the app. I use it to make caps lock Hyper/Escape and to make h/j/k/l act like Vim arrow keys when I hold down ";"

I can not use any machine without this program: https://github.com/Vonng/Capslock Make Capslock great again.
