Assign Hyper_L to Caps_Lock

This works in Xubuntu 15.04. I don't know about others

1. Create a file named .Xmodmap in your home with the following contents:

   keysym Caps_Lock = Hyper_L
   				

2. That's it

Caveats

Don't invoke the xmodmap command from your session startup: keyboard shortcuts will stop working if you do

npm_lazy

1. Install npm_lazy via npm install -g npm_lazy

2. Create script nl: #!/bin/bash # You must set the port in your npm_lazy config # See https://github.com/mixu/npm_lazy#installation PORT=9090 function ctrl_c() { npm config delete registry } trap ctrl_c INT npm_lazy --config ~/npm_lazy.config.js & npm config set registry http://localhost:$PORT # Wait sleep infinity

3. Create npm_lazy.config.js: var path = require('path'), homePath = path.normalize(process.env[(process.platform == 'win32') ? 'USERPROFILE' : 'HOME']); module.exports = { // Logging config loggingOpts: { // Print to stdout with colors logToConsole: true, // Write to file logToFile: false, // This should be a file path. filename: homePath + '/npm_lazy.log' }, // Cache config // `cacheDirectory`: Directory to store cached packages. // // Note: Since any relative path is resolved relative to the current working // directory when the server is started, you should use a full path. cacheDirectory: homePath + '/.npm_lazy', // `cacheAge`: maximum age before an index is refreshed from remoteUrl // - negative value means no refresh (e.g. once cached, never update the package.json metadata) // - zero means always refresh (e.g. always ask the registry for metadata) // - positive value means refresh every n milliseconds // (e.g. 60 * 60 * 1000 = expire metadata every 60 minutes) // // Note: if you want to use `npm star` and other methods which update // npm metadata, you will need to set cacheAge to 0. npm generally wants the latest // package metadata version so caching package metadata will interfere with it. // Recommended setting: 0 cacheAge: 0, // Request config // max milliseconds to wait for each HTTP response httpTimeout: 10000, // maximum number of retries per HTTP resource to get maxRetries: 5, // whether or not HTTPS requests are checked against Node's list of CAs // set false if you are using your own npm mirror with a self-signed SSL cert rejectUnauthorized: true, // Remote and local URL // external url to npm_lazy, no trailing / externalUrl: 'http://localhost:9090', // registry url with trailing / remoteUrl: 'https://registry.npmjs.org/', //remoteUrl: 'http://registry.npmjs.eu/', // bind port and host port: 9090, host: '0.0.0.0', // Proxy config // You can also configure this using the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables // cf. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/proxy_settings proxy: { // http: 'http://1.2.3.4:80/', // https: 'http://4.3.2.1:80/' } };
