The issue seems to be Keysharp interfering!

Original post:


I have this set up as a startup script, but it only sometimes triggers, despite setting a 20-second delay:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 2
xmodmap -e "clear lock"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Return"

I have the startup command set to bash "path/Remap_Caps_Lock_to_Enter.sh". What's going on? It works when I press the triangle button when it doesn't work on boot.

Thank you very much for sharing!

AutoHotKey (AHK) are quite great for Windows, yet I am not sure about Linux, where you may have even more featureful and optimal solutions based on Xorg/Wayland, and/or your desktop environment (e.g., KDE Plasma).
Unless you don't want/have time to migrate these Windows-oriented scripts, are you sure you want to depend on them?
