How to change caps lock key to escape

Posted by creining | Filed under Linux/BSD

Caps Lock is a waste of a key to me and I wanted it to become Escape especially for Vi(m) convenience. Easy to remap under X with the following in ~/.Xmodmap.

! ~/.Xmodmap
! change Caps_Lock to Escape

clear lock
keycode 66 = Escape
