Shortcut for rotating canvas by 15° left or right without a mouse
I don't like using my mouse while drawing and I couldn't find how to do this anywhere, but luckily when I was about to give up I achieved it! So, for this you'll need a program called SharpKeys. You can download it here: https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys/

Caps Lock Behaviour Disabled in Gnome
Sharpkeys can swap keys, the readme says as much:
> Things that SharpKeys will do:
> ...
> Allow you to swap two keys with each other - e.g. you can swap Left Windows with Left Control and vice versa
I do have a vague recollection of Sharpkeys previously saying that it couldn’t, but that I tried and it worked. Long time since I last used Windows though.

Total Commander
> Total commander isn’t FOSS.
I'm aware of that. There are lots of FOSS equivalents, though. Including, I believe, on Windows. Wikipedia lists 23 of which I think -- haven't checked -- the majority are FOSS.

> Ironically windows 11 can’t do vertical taskbars.
True. Easily fixed with Explorer Patcher, though. Which, ironically, is FOSS.
> And where in windows can you change the system shortcuts?
I don't use it much any more and stopped early this century, so my knowledge here may be out of date.
When I do, I use SharpKeys to put a GUI on editing the relevant registry keys for keyboard remapping.

In the NT 3.x era, it was the properties of every EXE's PIF file. So I set Crtl+Alt+(initial) to open my most used apps. Ctrl+Alt+D for DOS, E for Excel, W for Word, etc.
This still works with limitations under Win9x through to XP, which is when I jumped off the Windows ship.
But mostly it's about learning the many many built-ins.

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.
