Hi, Having handled many of the issues relating to init system to the point of being able to release Devuan jessie beta, I wonder if Devuan community is ready to support action on other scourges of the linux on personal computer ecosystem.
I am thinking specifically of three key mapping bugaboos: 1) CAPSLOCK key under console and X, should be mapped to Control This mapping is compatible with most server administrators preferences, prevents capslock-related mode problems in vim. If this default leads to angry bug reports, at least they will not be sent in all caps ;-) 2) Terminate X via Ctrl-Alt-Backspace Seems like an easy, useful, historic way to kill a malfunctioning X. 3) Disable Print key All my uses have been unintentional. Does anyone use it deliberately? My other wishlist items are: 4) No display manager by default I think the community shouldn't coocoon naive users from the console. The passing familiarity with the terminal that comes with Learning to type username, password, startx and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (to terminate X) will help the user if and when they ever have trouble with X. That X works so well most of the time, and without manual configuration is a credit to xorg maintainers. Terminating X, and returning to the console would be useful, for example, when fiddling with proprietary video drivers. I'm sure these suggestions are naive for countless reasons, however my muse absolutely urges me to write to you all!
