Xcape

After my rant about switching converting Ctrl to Caps Lock, I decided to go
back to my larger keyboard, after using after using a small wireless keyboard
for a long time.

So I found my poor numbed left pinky finger pressing the back-tick instead of
Esc allatime. Makes vi a little dicey.

So I googoo and I find this:

    https://github.com/alols/xcape.git

I clone it and build it (took about 1 second to build), and it converts the
left Ctrl (including the remapped Caps Lock) into an Esc if released quickly as
defined by a timeout parameter. The C file includes a few X11 header files.
Has a nice man page, too.

I will have to see if I get used to it. My poor little overworked pinky!
