# There's a lack of sample code for acme/Let's Encrypt out there, and
# this is an attempt to at least slightly remedy that.  It's the result
# of my first day's hacking on this stuff, so almost certainly contains
# errors and oversights.
#
# It's not designed to be specifically useful if what you want is 
# just a cert -- certbot or dehydrated are better for that.  It is sample
# code for people who are building automated systems to deal with large 
# numbers of Let's Encrypt certificates to play with.

Mapping Caps Lock to simultaneous Esc and Super (Mod4)

The CAPS key can be mapped to an escape key when pressed once, and a super (mod4) key when used in combination with other keys.

Create the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/custom_opts with the following:

// Make Caps an additional Escape
hidden partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "super_esc" {

key { [ Escape ] };

This describes my basic Arch Linux installation on my Chromebook Pixel.

Note: I'm a coward, so I installed Arch to an SD card instead of wiping out the existing SSD.

Requirements

• SD card. A very minimal Arch installation with XFCE will need about 2GB, so I think 4GB is the minimum you can get by with.
• Arch installer on a USB drive. The 2013.05.01 is broken with the recent netctl change. So either get an older or newer one.
• Some Arch Linux familiarity.
• Time, patience, and good eyesight.
