VNote vim-mode doesn't follow the swapped ESC and Capslock on Ubuntu with i3

[pduy]

OS Version (操作系统): Linux

VNote Version (Help - About VNote - Version: )(VNote版本): 2.2

Symptoms (表现):

I swapped ESC and Caps Lock on my system through xmodmap, particularly:

xmodmap -e "clear lock"                             
xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = Caps_Lock NoSymbol Caps_Lock"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Escape NoSymbol Escape"    

So now my ESC would be Caps Lock and my Caps Lock would be ESC.

But in VNote, when using vim-mode, it seems to still follow the old order. As a consequence, I could only exit Insert mode by pressing the ESC key (which is now Caps Lock on my system and will capitalize all the letters).

How to Repro (如何复现): Just swap the keys using the command above and try vim-mode in VNote 2.2.

Will take a look! I map capslock to ctrl and it works.

BTW, you could use ctrl-] to esc.

@tamlok Thank you. Ctrl + [ works, but yeah it feels not familiar coz I am used to Caps Lock too much.

Just for your information, I swapped them on a Gnome-based DE using gnome-tweak-tool and it did work. But lately I switched to another windows manager (i3) so I have to switch via the command lines I shared, then it didn't work anymore, but only in VNote, not in the other applications.

Would also love to be able to remap the Esc within the vim mode to e.g. jj.

@nimarb A more advanced Vim mode is coming!
