Swap caps lock and control on your keyboard

[–] Tanoh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Re-binding caps lock is such a nice thing. I am a Perl programmer (yes, really), though not in emacs (vim all the way!)

I changed caps locks to $ and @ with shift decades ago. Especially since in my native layout they are awkward to reach.

M-x Ctrl-? Why?

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How about get a mechanical keyboard with modified switches for your combining keys? I've been wanting to do that for mine for gaming.

Svalboard. Not am EMACS user (it's a fine editor/Lisp interpreter) but, even nice mechkb isn't necessarily going to prevent RSI or exacerbation of existing conditions. Best to change to a text-entry device that is designed with humans in mind.
