Ubuntu 22.04
i migrated my private dev pc from windows and mac to ubuntu 22.04, and encountered some troubles. So note solutions for them.
Keyboard
Use Capslock as Ctrl
to make Capslock function as Ctrl, use Tweaks.
install it through Ubuntu Software, open it, then go to Keyboard & Mouse > Additional Layout Options.
Check Ctrl position > Caps Lock as Ctrl.
VSCode
Capslock and Ctrl
Even if GNOME is configured as Use Capslock as Ctrl, VSCode recognize pressing Capslock key as Capslock + Ctrl, not just Ctrl.
To resolve this, configure "keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode" in settings.
Ctrl + P / Ctrl + N
To move a cursor up and down in seggestions or lists by Ctrl + P and Ctrl + N in addition to UpArrow and DownArrow, add them to Keyboard Shortcuts as following below.
Don't forget set When properly otherwise some shortcuts don't work.
Ctrl + N
Ctrl + N is assigned to File: New Untitled Text File by default, and it conflicts with moving cursor down by Ctrl + N. i removed the shortcut from File: New Untitled Text File.
| Command | When |
|---|---|
| Select Next in Quick Open | inQuickOpen |
| selectNextCodeAction | codeActionMenuVisible |
| selectNextSuggestion | suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus |
| showNextParameterHint | editorFocus && parameterHintsMultipleSignatures && parameterHintsVisible |
Ctrl + P
Ctrl + P is assigned to Go to File by default, and it conflicts with moving cursor up by Ctrl + P.
i gave up Go to File by Ctrl + P, compromised and assign Alt + P to Go to File instead.
