CapsLock configuration files

Autohotkey (windows) and Autokey (linux) configuration files for CapsLock remapping, inspired by a blog post by Nikitonsky.

Features

• Use capslock + j/l/k/i instead of arrow keys without moving your hands from the default position
• capslock + h as a backspace
• capslock + a/d/s/w as home/end, page up/page down keys
• capslock + [, capslock + ] to decrease and increase the sound volume

On Linux

This is tested on Ubuntu (gnome). The Autokey configuration tool doesn't seem to work with CapsLock key directly, so I had to map CapsLock to "additional Hyper" first:

• Tweaks -> keyboard & mouse -> additional layout options
• Caps lock behavior
• Make Caps Lock an additional Hyper

You're free to choose any other key instead of Hyper, but then the Autokey configuration files must also be updated.

Then

• Install Autokey
• Copy the autokey directory to ~/.config/autokey/data
• Run Autokey

On Windows

• Install Autohotkey
• Execute autohotkey/capslock.ahk

Add to autoload:

• Win + R, %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, enter
• Right-click -> New -> Shortcut
• Enter the full path to capslock.ahk file
