Map Caps Lock to both! Tap is Esc, hold is Ctrl.

I got that working with Karabiner Elements but how do people get this to work on Windows and Linux?

[rgoulter → Fnoord]

KMonad supports customisations like that. It's cross platform (macOS, Linux, Windows).

Though I use a fancy keyboard with QMK firmware, which allows customising this without needing to change settings on the computer.

I do it with xmodmap on Linux.

Did you change your username? I didn't realize that was an option.

[stavros → thaumasiotes]

Yes I did, and it probably wasn't really an option, but the moderators were kind enough to reclaim a very old, unused username (which I think was mine but forgot all the credentials to).

[frosted-flakes → stavros]

It's listed explicitly as an option in the FAQ.

[thaumasiotes → stavros]

What made you want to change it?

[stavros → thaumasiotes]

It's Stavros everywhere, it was only StavrosK here because the former was unavailable. I wasn't too fussed either way, but I asked the mods whether I could reclaim the username and they renamed the account to it, so here we are!

I figure it's easier for people to remember now.
