Caveats

Custom IME's are not supported with Linux apps yet. Luckily, the ctrl2esc remapping functionality can be replicated in Linux using xcape using the following command: xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape'. This currently only works with X11 apps (no wayland support) Please let me know if you find a way to remap this key in wayland!
