            Bug ID: 96621
           Summary: bind modifier keys separately when pressed alone
                    (similar to xcape)
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eisfreak7 at yahoo.com

I like to bind some of my modifier keys to different keys when pressed on their
own, as opposed to being pressed in combination with another key.
A (very popular) example is: caps lock serves as escape when pressed alone,
ctrl when in combination.

I use xcape (https://github.com/alols/xcape) to achieve this, but there is (as
far as I can see) currently no possibility to archive this with wayland, and it
doesn't look like there will be (https://github.com/alols/xcape/issues/67).

Not sure where it would be best to implement this, I created an issue for a
window manager (https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway/issues/719) and was redirected
here.

Is this possible to do with libinput?
