    i use karabiner to do it on macos; a quick web search proposes interception-k2k which seems capable of doing it on linux, though quite not so easy as with karabiner.
  • Anne Pro 2 not Working with interception-tools
    1 project | /r/AnnePro | 23 Feb 2021
    I am a programmer and use modal text editors (Vim/ Doom Emacs/ VS Code with Vim-plugin). This means, that the Escape- and Ctrl-keys are very important. I found a way to bind the Capslock-key to both (Escape when pressed alone, Ctrl when used in a key-combo). Until now, I have used `interception-tools` and their tool `caps2esc`. However, it didn't work with the Anne Pro 2 whatsoever! I opened issues on the GitHub-page for the specific tool I use and on the GitLab-page of the parenting `interception-tools`, but none of the people that answered could help me and found this behavior to be rather strange. All keyboards, that they encountered before worked with their approach.
