Stops working after undefined time #121

i use a hold down space bar as a control key. After an indefinite amount of time xcape stops working. It can be hours up to a day. It is still present as a process though. Remedy is usually killing xcape and restarting, but i would also work without the kill.

This does not seem to be related to the usage of the mapped key, nor capslock nor escape like in similar issues.

Same problem here. In my case, Ctrl (which is triggered by the Caps Lock key, because I'm using the ctrl:swapcaps option, not sure if this matters here) also stops working. Any fix?

xcape isn't being updated. i migrated to caps2esc and, more generally, to dual-function-keys. a bit harder to install, since not available on apt, but can be done with a little patience and this tutorial
