@timhilt, your configuration looks to be fine. You could open an issue and ask on the upstream GitLab repository.

I can only recommend you to also try with another Interception plugin, k2k which is more versatile, and is the one I'm using. Also available on the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/interception-k2k-git/

This is not working for me, even though the right version is installed:

$ caps2esc 0.1 dummy
usage: caps2esc [seconds]
[seconds] - number of seconds after which pressed CapsLock starts to be automatically interpreted as Ctrl; expected to be a positive real number, if it's omited or 0, CapsLock will be interpreted as Ctrl only when used in combination with other keys

and my /etc/udevmon.yaml looks like this:

$ cat /etc/udevmon.yaml
- JOB: "intercept -g $DEVNODE | caps2esc 0.1 | uinput -d $DEVNODE"
  DEVICE:
    EVENTS:
      EV_KEY: [KEY_CAPSLOCK, KEY_ESC]

Also the systemd-job is started successfully:

With the above active i always get ESC when releasing the CAPS-key, even after a very long press. Where can i get support for this issue?
