Arch, i3wm. Love having a personalized keyboard-first setup that I can say I've built over time.

A tip for those who may just be starting out: switch your LEFT-ALT and WIN keys. Also make caps lock act like ESC on tap and CTRL on long press. See xmodmap, setxkbmap and xcape for this.

Ohh, those are interesting tips. Would also be handy for Awesomewm which is what I use. Gonna have to dig into how to do that.

If you want the lazy way (the way I have it):

    setxkbmap -option altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,caps:ctrl_modifier
    xcape -e 'Caps_Lock=Escape;Alt_R=Control_L|space'
I know that there are better ways to do this. But I never get around to trying them out.
