    • Caps2Esc is a very useful input remapping utility: it turns the Caps key into either Esc or Control depending on how it's used: - if the Caps key is released before another key is pressed, it emits Esc - If the Caps key is used in chording mode, like by pressing Caps and C, it emits Control, to send Control-C

  • ydotool

    Generic command-line automation tool (no X!)

    • This solution depends on ydotool which you must install first
