# Currently using tab as both tab key and a modifier. Works well though
# I need to switch away from using Xmodmap. Use xkb (via localectl) seems
# like a better idea.

# make tab a hyper and set hyper as mod1
#[[ -f ~/.Xmodmap ]] && xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

# xcape depends on .Xmodmap being set correctly (TODO: switch to xkb)
# this lets the (now hyper_L) tab key act normally unless used as a
# modifier

# of .xprofile? just move into my init file? make a new .shell like

# Calling 'displayctl' without arguments is the same as calling it with

# based on state of connected external displays.
