Hi Akib, I also use Emacs with EXWM. To prevent Emacs pinky, I add the following lines to my $HOME/.xsession file: ======================================= # Set keyboard repeat rate xset r rate 200 60 # Change Caps Lock to Ctrl setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps" setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" ======================================= Remember to put `exwm` at the end of your $HOME/.xsession file to launch your window manager when X starts up.
