dual-key-remap VS repeaters

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

Speaking of repeating commands, here's a little package I wrote to make that easier. It's a sort of "semi-modal" form of editing. Whenever a repeatable key/command is used, it activates a "repeat-map", which stays active until you use any key that's not in the repeat-map. The feature for this is built-in to Emacs since version 28. The package just makes it easier to use.
