solution to dreaded emacs pinky finger problem (may not be possible) (only works with evil)
I use https://github.com/pietroiusti/janus-key
-
Amazing vim setup
(Although I think they are nice, I am not a supporter of the key bindings of the beast in emacs btw. In fact I wrote a little piece a software to keep my pinkie healthy while avoiding them;))
- janus-key: Make normal keys behave like modifiers when held down.
-
janus-key: give keys a double function (normal keys as modifiers)
I wrote a little tool in C that allows you to use normal keys as modifiers.
xcape
- Remap caps lock to behave like escape on press and control on hold on Xorg
-
Binding a single key on release AND binding that same key in another combination
Don't know about i3, but you can achieve this in Linux/X11 using for example xcape: https://github.com/alols/xcape
-
Keyboard shortcut on key release
I guess that xcape is what you're looking for.
-
How to assign Overview to meta ?
You can use xcape (I assume xorg only; https://github.com/alols/xcape) to set any key including super/meta to trigger a custom keyboard shortcut on release.
- Launch an application with just the mod button
-
Have you remapped CTRL and ESC, and if so, how?
Caps Lock is both Control and Escape depending on whether you hold or tap it. I use xcape.

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.
- Whats your favourite i3 hacks you can't live without?
- completely new to i3 and trying to get this config to work

Vim with caps lock on is the final boss
I have the same setup on linux. Using xcape and xmodmap together.
What are some alternatives?
kmonad - An advanced keyboard manager
sxhkd - Simple X hotkey daemon
zet - Zettelkasten Repo. This is where I dump my knowledge as it happens, all my zettels ("slips" or notes) about almost anything and everything. The idea is rather simple really and very powerful. Be warned, however, just because something is here doesn't mean it is accurate or even that I still believe it.
dual-key-remap - Remap any key to any other two keys on Windows 🔥. Remap CapsLock to both Ctrl and Escape! (It's like xcape for windows!)
evremap - A keyboard input remapper for Linux/Wayland systems, written by @wez
keyd - A key remapping daemon for linux.
linux
ikkekernel - IkkeKernel - because we need a Linux fork
ahk-caps-ctrl-esc - Autohotkey script that maps Capslock to Esc *and* Ctrl
