Caps lock is slow on linux

The fix is to make it a Ctrl key.

Interesting, and weird.

“Its always wayland” is the new “its always DNS”

Except we all need DNS, and I have no need to use wayland

X11 is pretty much abandonware at this point so youll have to eventually.

Why? It works fine

For now but if its no longer being maintained it will eventually stop working on new hardware

Save it and then go to “Gnome Tweaks” and activate the option “make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl” on “Additional Layout Options - Caps Lock behavior”.

And how do I do that on Plasma? What’s the equivalent to that in plasma?

If you are on Plasma 6, it should be “System Settings” - Keyboard - Advanced, select “Configure keyboard options”, and you’ll find the “Caps Lock behavior” - maybe even two, but one of them have a lot of options as to what you want to do with your Caps Lock key.

I actually found that option (damn plasma has everything lol) and selecting it killed the capslock completely. However, doing whatever the person did in the link without the option selected fixed the issue.
