TTY? #63

Closed krompus closed 8 years ago

krompus commented 8 years ago

I realise that it's outside of the scope of this program, but I have become addicted to having Ctrl/Escape on the CapsLock key, and I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a way to get this behaviour without X.

:P

If it helps, it seems like it's possible to have at least control key in place of caps lock. But I have no idea about making it Ctrl/Escape. But remember, Ctrl-[ is a good backup way to press escape after you've done that (assuming your keyboard layout has [ key reasonably accessible).

Ctrl-c will also work to a degree. There is a difference though, see here.

@vyp haha, I just found that same page this evening. I'll try to train myself to use Ctrl-[ in the TTY, thanks!
