My fellow nerds: a question about your personal machines:

What is your favourite quality-of-life tweak you've made to your system?

An alias? A utility, a setting, something in .bashrc or ~/bin?

I'd like to know.

@mhoye Rebinding caps lock to control. For some reason it’s one of the biggest keys on the keyboard but aside from this hack I never use it

me too, always rebind caps lock. there were old keyboards where that's where ctrl was placed, Sun keyboards I think.

yes, my Apple //e had the Ctrl key where the Caps Lock is now. I didn't like it at all when I had to switch to the current position of the Ctrl key

e.g., Ctrl-S, the combination I used and still use most, was easier with the old position of the Ctrl key. And yes, I just checked: both DEC and Sun keyboards (both much used by me) had the Ctrl key on the same row as the S key.
