caps lock -> control
never leave the home row while still using qwerty many linux/windows keybinds get really faster:
- caps + T for new tab (and basically ever other browser keybind)
- caps + c/v for copy/paste
- caps + [ to escape into normal mode for vim (faster than ESC)
also works wonders since I use doom emacs
win + h,j,k,l -> left, down, up, right arrow keys
a quick vim mode anywhere and everywhere, it's soo convenient
some mac inspired bindings:
- alt + q -> quit app
- alt + w -> minimize window
- alt + space -> open rofi app launcher
(yes ik option is used as alt, windows as cmd or whatever, but it's just wrong) also improves browser keybinds: alt + win + left/right for back/forward

without keyd, for caps->ctrl in public systems:
setxkbmap -layout us -option ctrl:swapcapsor a more permanent solution for gnome:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['ctrl:nocaps']"
