+## Map caps to left-ctrl
+
+* Most promising method
+
+  * Install `xorg-xmodmap`
+  * Map `linux/home/Xmodmap` to ~/
+  * The above taken from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xmodmap
+
+* Second method: map caps key to left-ctrl (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Map_scancodes_to_keycodes for details)
+  * edit `/etc/udev/hwdb.d/10-my-modifiers.hwdb`
+  * add:
+
+  ```
+  evdev:atkbd:dmi:*            # built-in keyboard: match all AT keyboards for now
+   KEYBOARD_KEY_3a=leftctrl     # bind capslock to leftctrl
+  ```
+
+  * run `udevadm hwdb --update` then reboot
+
+## Install clipboard getter
+
+* `pi xsel`
+* Now we can grab clipboard content in vim using `:read !xsel --clipboard --output`
