As a programmer who is heavily dependent on vim and who desires to keep his fingers from being mangled, I always remap my capslock to escape. I don't seem to be able to do this by any of the normal mechanisms in Deepin.

I can use:

    setxkbmap -option "caps:none"

And that appears to work, although the caps key causes the block cursor in deepin terminal to respond by becoming and outline. If I try to use "caps:escape" or any other option, I get identical results.

Any ideas?

I tried using these commands:
  1. gsettings set com.deepin.dde.keybinding.mediakey capslock ""
  2. gsettings set com.deepin.dde.keyboard layout-options "['caps:escape']"
Copy the Code

That disabled capslock, but did not map it to escape. In deepin-terminal, typing escape causes the cursor to blink, but does not trigger escape.

Never mind! After restarting Xorg, the capslock key is now functioning as escape. Thank you again for your help.
