Weird issue with Hyper modifier
iii) That leaves plug/unplug resetting configuration issue. But you can use a daemon like inputplug (created by a debian dev) to do things when that happens. Personally I have lived through a loose usb keyboard with my sanity intact thanks to inputplug. I also use a bluetooth keyboard now which occasionally has problems, although I admit disconnect after few minutes of idle time doesn't happen here.

How to remap built-in keybindings like `C-n` and `C-w`?
I could use some external key remappers like xremap. But I'm already using kanata and I can't use two key remappers for the same keyboards (kanata (or kmonad for that matter) doesn't allow application-specific remaps).

Is there a way that I can make Caps Lock behave like the Mod key when pressed with another key but behave like Caps Lock (as it does by default) if just pressed and released?
