Does this work on wayland? I used to have Caps mapped as Escape when pressed alone but as Ctrl when in combination with another key. On wayland, there's no easy way on sway or gnome (which is what I used on Ubuntu). There is `caps2esc` and `interception_tools`. But I had some problems with it interfering with startup sometimes on sway. But on Ubuntu gnome, I haven't tried it again.

The first paragraph:

> Linux lacks a good key remapping solution. In order to achieve satisfactory results a medley of tools need to be employed (e.g xcape, xmodmap) with the end result often being tethered to a specified environment (X11). keyd attempts to solve this problem by providing a flexible system wide daemon which remaps keys using kernel level input primitives (evdev, uinput).

So yes it seems to work on both x and wayland

It does, been using it for a year or so.

Thank you for letting me know! I just started using it and it's working perfectly
