I just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful software. I really like that the tool doesn't need admin rights or a reboot, so it is quite portable. I have to switch between macOS, Windows and Linux fairly often and Uncap makes the Windows usage much less painful.

Hi Shawn (@sahensley),

Thank you for writing this comment and sharing your experience with this software.

I wrote Uncap and the associated documentation for exactly the kind of usage you describe: to switch between macOS, Windows, and Linux with ease and not having to run an installer, write additional script files, or reboot the system.

So I am glad to know that this tool is serving you well and you like this tool.

So I'd also like to say thanks. It's just a great idea. And the solution for one of my problems, I thought about the last days. .. ;) the lack of a further modifier. I'm using linux here, so I've to read the manuals.. But I really don't know, why I didn't think of using the capslock key .. Best wishes

Hi Michael (@michael105),

Thank you for dropping by and writing this comment.

Since you are using Linux, I believe that the "Linux: setxkbmap" section of the Uncap README is going to be useful to you. Here is the link to this section in this project's README: https://github.com/susam/uncap#linux-setxkbmap.

To summarize, the following command maps Caps Lock to Escape on most Linux distributions:

setxkbmap -option caps:escape

The "Linux: setxkbmap" section of this project's documentation provides more details about this command.

@susam You help me every day of my life with uncap. This tool is so, so, so useful to me. It's amazingly helpful for Vim, for games, for UIs with heaps of modals, for ordinary text editing - it makes any keyboard like 20% better. Thank you so much! <3
