- Also add new option to control internal delay of programmatic key
  sequences, when they're necessary.

bb09cd8d9a Discard MSC_SCAN events
Given that only EV_KEY events are being mapped, without their scancode
counterparts, we just drop all scancode events to avoid having to map
them too, to syncing it with the corresponding mapped keys. This is
expected to be harmless.

9f353f96c6 Another evdev protocol infringement
Even though Peter Hutterer commented that it's not technically needed to
send SYN/delay when the sequence of events is of different keys, it
seems to be shown necessary to do so, otherwise events are dropped in
random situations.

caps2esc - transforming the most useless key ever in the most useful one
usage: caps2esc [-h] [-m mode] [-t delay]
options:
-h show this message and exit
-t delay used for key sequences (default: 20000 microseconds)
-m mode 0: default
- caps as esc/ctrl
- esc as caps
1: minimal
- caps as esc/ctrl
2: useful on 60% layouts
- caps as esc/ctrl
- esc as grave accent
- grave accent as caps
```
`caps2esc` is an [_Interception Tools_][interception-tools] plugin. A suggested
`udevmon` job configuration is:
```yaml
- JOB: "intercept -g $DEVNODE | caps2esc | uinput -d $DEVNODE"
- JOB: intercept -g $DEVNODE | caps2esc | uinput -d $DEVNODE
DEVICE:
EVENTS:
EV_KEY: [KEY_CAPSLOCK, KEY_ESC]

## Mouse button support
After _Interception Tools_ 0.3, `caps2esc` can work with mouse clicks. An
example configuration taken from my laptop:
```yaml
SHELL: [zsh, -c]
---
- JOB: mux -c caps2esc
- JOB:
- intercept -g $DEVNODE | mux -o caps2esc
- mux -i caps2esc | caps2esc | uinput -d $DEVNODE

- JOB:
- intercept $DEVNODE | mux -o caps2esc
DEVICE:
LINK: /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-4-event-mouse
```
For more information on the topic, check the [_Interception Tools_
README][interception-tools] about usage of the `mux` tool and device specific
setups.
## Installation
I'm maintaining an Archlinux package on AUR:
It's available from [community](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/interception-caps2esc/):
- <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/interception-caps2esc>
```
$ pacman -S interception-caps2esc
```
I don't use Ubuntu and recommend Archlinux instead, as it provides the AUR, so I
don't maintain PPAs. For more information on Ubuntu/Debian installation check
this:

## Caveats
@ -69,7 +118,7 @@ As always, there's always a caveat:
I can't recall when I started using CAPSLOCK as both ESC and CTRL but it has
been quite some time already. It started when I was on OS X where it was quite
easy to achieve using the [Karabiner][], which already provides an option to
turn CTRL into CTRL/ESC (which can be coupled with OS X system settings that
turn CTRL into ESC/CTRL (which can be coupled with OS X system settings that
turn CAPSLOCK into CTRL).
Moving on, permanently making Linux my home, I searched and tweaked a similar
