How do I install caps2esc?
I am switching back from mac-land, and the thing that bugs me the most about linux these days is the keybindings. Specifically, right now, I miss Karabiner, and the ability to turn the caps lock both into control and escape at the sametime.
Luckily, I found caps2esc. Unluckily, I don't quite understand how to install it.
I found the way to compile and make install both interception tools and caps2esc. But now it seems I need to mess around with systemd? Now I'm lost.
Help?
Here's the relevant documentation:

to really help I'd have to run it, and sorry i'm not doing that. a quick scan-read of files however and I don't see the need of sysd except if you want it to auto-run every boot or use system (systemctl) commands to stop/restart/start/.. it (which would be nicer yes) but are not necessary from my read.

I think I mostly figured this out.
- Follow the instructions to
cmake,make,sudo make install
- On Ubuntu/Debian, these executables are now in
/usr/local/bin/caps2esc
sudoedit /etc/udevmon.yamland then put this in:
- JOB: "intercept -g $DEVNODE | caps2esc | uinput -d $DEVNODE"
DEVICE:
EVENTS:
EV_KEY: [KEY_CAPSLOCK, KEY_ESC]
sudoedit /etc/systemd/system/udevmon.serviceand put this in:
[Unit]
Description=udevmon
After=systemd-user-sessions.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/nice -n -20 usr/local/bin/udevmon -c /etc/udevmon.yaml
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
sudo systemctl enable --now udevmon
