Story: I know I'm suffering this from so much. Everytime I install a new system, I'm fooled by the application I'm using whenever I try to do something with 'Ctrl'. My left Ctrl is broken so I remapped my Caps Lock to Ctrl. It was one of the best things I have done ever! I would remap it even if I have a fully functioning Ctrl key now.

setxkbmap -option 'caps:ctrl_modifier'
|
||||
```
