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.

Survey: What's your favorite remapping of Esc?
https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap this has been working like magic for me

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.

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

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.

Just mapped my caps lock to escape for the first time...
For Windows, this was the fan favourite over AHK. https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap

Linux Mint Working on Wayland Support
It's actually incredibly useful to have apps like window managers or apps that rely on manipulating user input like xcape read another apps data. In fact such are still possible just 10x as complicated as they now involve writing awful little programs in some combination of c and yaml instead of a dead simple single line shell invocation of a program.
See https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools
The fact that this can work at all seems to suggest that its just as possible for malicious code running as user to compromise your security and the only thing actually broken is useful apps.

Issue with interception-tools
After updating my system after a while, i found Interception-tools to not working . It fails on a dependency on libyaml-cpp.so.0.7

What's a very simple config change that you can't live without?
Having both is a game-changer. Depends on your OS. On Mac, I use Karabiner. Linux I used use caps2esc and on Windows I use a custom AutoHotKey.

Emacs-written novel on the German bestseller list
Before that I had used interception tools for key rebindings, which relied on the udevmon service to intercept keypress events, and thus even works in a TTY terminal, not requiring a window manager. I use vim keybindings in Emacs and for that I found it useful to rebind ESC to CTRL if tapped, but it still acts as CTRL when held (now I have implemented that in my keyboard firmware).

newbie doubt here
In addition to using ctrl+a as prefix... some of us remap capslock to ctrl so then the two buttons are right next to each other and easy to press with one motion. (This then makes it possible to have that key be ctrl when pressed in combo with another key or esc when pressed on its own.)

Mapping Alt+hjkl to arrow keys (sway, wayland)
i use both X and Wayland and i also have a lot of key switching going on. So to have a universal config that works under both protocols i have to go lower than the display server protocols. I looked around for such a thing and finally found the interception tool

How to swap Caps Lock and Ctrl?
Do you know about https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/caps2esc? It makes it ctrl when held in combo with another key or esc when pressed on its own w/o other key (I loved it before ergodox) and there are some related plugins there for other keyboard customizations as well.

TUTORIAL: Making Caps do both Control and Esc like Caps2Esc, but with only hyprland+ydotool
Caps2Esc is a very useful input remapping utility: it turns the Caps key into either Esc or Control depending on how it's used: - if the Caps key is released before another key is pressed, it emits Esc - If the Caps key is used in chording mode, like by pressing Caps and C, it emits Control, to send Control-C
