Mapping capslock to escape and both shifts to capslock











up vote

favorite












I'm using:



setxkbmap -option caps:escape           # "Make Caps Lock an additional Esc"

setxkbmap -option shfit:both_capslock # "Both Shift together enable Caps Lock"


But with second option I can't use shift normally, it's blocking all keys waiting for the other shift to be pressed.



Is it possible to have the second option enabled and use shift as usual?

(If not, do you know any other method to keep capslock under some key combination, e.g. shift+capslock, ctrl+capslock?)
