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.

Any fun ways to learn Emacs?
Using meow:https://github.com/meow-edit/meow I actually got keybindings in Emacs that are helix-like, so I use helix for certain projects and Emacs for others.
The muscle memory transfers well.

Helix: Release 24.03 Highlights
Thanks for the tip, meow looks interesting. I never got comfortable in evil-mode, but perhaps meow could be a gateway to trying emacs in anger.
Still waiting for kakoune/helix mode for gnu readline...

Emacs Commands I Got by with for Years
Also see Meow[1], [2], which adopts some ideas from god-mode.

Emacs from Scratch Part Two
You have to go further for ideal IMO.
Evil and evil-collection integrates pretty well, but Meow integrates perfectly and uses the action visible first approach.

Packages that you would like to be in emacs core ?
I think I'd rather hope for meow over Evil. It's close to Evil but embraces more of emacs' default bindings for calling commands.

Emacs Is My New Window Manager
https://github.com/meow-edit/meow
Modal editing with seamless emacs integration avoiding the need for evil-collection type packages.
-
Vile Mode (VIm Like Editing)
Repeat action (evil handles this very nicely). see: https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/discussions/414
-
Devil Mode for Emacs
There's also Meow[1], which I currently use. You have to configure it first to suit your keyboard layout, but there are pre-built configs [2]

Is it possible to make god-mode turn off automatically after a command?
I was thinking about this a little more and Meow has something known as keypad mode that basically lets you call key combinations then return to Normal mode. It behaves a lot like god-mode. I just tested it out and if you install Meow you can call keypad-mode from insert and then automatically return to insert mode.
What are some alternatives?
sxhkd - Simple X hotkey daemon
god-mode - Minor mode for God-like command entering
kmonad - An advanced keyboard manager
evil-collection - A set of keybindings for evil-mode
evremap - A keyboard input remapper for Linux/Wayland systems, written by @wez
xah-fly-keys - the most efficient keybinding for emacs
linux
kakoune.el - A very simple simulation of the kakoune editor inside of emacs.
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!)
doom-meow - A meow module for Doom Emacs
ahk-caps-ctrl-esc - Autohotkey script that maps Capslock to Esc *and* Ctrl
ryo-modal - Roll your own modal mode
