uncap

Indeed! Sometime between 2010 and 2015, I used to often work with Windows computers, so I wrote a tool for myself back then to remap Caps Lock to Esc on Windows machines: https://github.com/susam/uncap While it was certainly possible to do that by editing Windows registry (and I have noted those techniques too in the README), registry changes couldn't be enabled or disabled without a reboot. That's what motivated me to write the above tool. And indeed, having the Caps Lock work like Esc made using Vim a much better experience!

I have swapped Caps Lock and Escape on my Linux personal laptop and I have grown used to it. So when I dual booted Windows on my machine, I used Powertoys[1] to achieve the same. At work, I have no option to install Powertoys or Uncap[2] for that matter. AutoHotKey is the only way, but I'm unable to get it to work. I used this StackOverflow[3] answer, but with this, both Caps Lock and Escape send both of the keys. So I'm stuck occasionally messing up my Teams messages :) [1]: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys [2]: https://github.com/susam/uncap [3]: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38558376/how-to-map-caps...

For windows i recommend uncap https://github.com/susam/uncap

> But other than that, all you'll get is a load of entitled users complaining about bugs, usually filling low quality bug reports, and very few actual meaningful contributions. I agree that entitled users can be a real problem. I have had my share of dealing with entitled and impolite users complaining about "issues" that eventually turn out to be something that is already easily addressed by the README. Interacting with such users can indeed be disappointing. However, except for the occasional discourteous user, most users of my tiny projects have been quite supportive. Most of them are polite while submitting bug reports. Some even leave comments to express their appreciation for the project![1] So it's not all bad! > Most people are just like you and want THEIR PROJECT to be popular, not to contribute almost anonymously to some other r

That's actually a good habit to build. Here's a windows utility you might find useful: https://github.com/susam/uncap And here's an editor that's accommodating to your newly trained typing skills ;) https://www.vim.org/

Here is one I received last year: https://github.com/susam/uncap/issues/9. The comment began with, "I just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful software." It made my day! The GitHub user interface should encourage this as a feature.

strncpy() does not guarantee that the copied string would be terminated with a null byte ('\0'). For a call that looks like strncpy(dst, src, n), if there is no null byte in the first n bytes of src, the string copied to dst would also not contain a null byte. Here is an example code to demonstrate the problem: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() { char a[] = "01234567"; strncpy(a, "foobar", 4); printf("%.8s\n", a); return 0; } Here is the output: $ cc -std=c89 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic foo.c && ./a.out foob4567 A C89-conforming alternative I use is a macro like this that guarantees '\0'-termination as the first thing: #define strcp(a, b, c) (a[0] = '\0', strncat(a, b, c - 1)) An example from my code: https://github.com/susam/uncap/blob/master/uncap.c#L78-L87 Here is how to use it:
