Caps lock to control key #139

Open EskoJTH opened 3 years ago

EskoJTH commented 3 years ago

There does not appear to be any way to map caps lock to control so that it would also inherit all key combinations defined with "C-".

I'm currently using my keyboard with caps lock as a control key, but the change is applied after xkeysnail so it does not affect all places I would like it to.

define_modmap seems to be what you are looking for.

define_modmap({
    Key.CAPSLOCK: Key.LEFT_CTRL
})

Please check example/config.py

@EskoJTH Did this work for you?

The documentation on key specification does not even show you can use the Key constant. They only show K("...some text name...")

You can write it with K macros too... same thing, K just resolves to Key.name objects...
