How to persistently map Capslock to ESC and Ctrl?

Ask Fedora

Hi, I’ve recently switched from Ubuntu to Fedora. Previously, I’ve used the following in my ~/.xprofileto map Capslock to ESC and Ctrl:

# make CapsLock behave like Ctrl:                                
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
# make short-pressed Ctrl behave like Escape:
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape'

This doesn´t work in Fedora 40 anymore. How can I get the same functionality here? I’m using KDE by the way.

Thanks in advance for every help!

Please let us know what worked for you.

Sometimes it’s so simple that it feels a bit embarrassing. Thanks @barryascott for this hint! I’ve found https://github.com/wez/evremap which is exactly what I was looking for :+1:
