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

How to make my pinkie and vanilla keybindings get along?
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.

janus-key: give keys a double function (normal keys as modifiers)
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?

Space bar as control
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

Set Capslock to Meta Key on Windows
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.

Space bar as control
Which script do you use? EmacsWiki recommends BigCtrl but I think that section is outdated; BigCtrl author recommends dual but the author of dual has abandoned this project.There are other short scripts found on various forums.
