Uncap

Uncap is a handy tool that makes using the vi Editor way easier. Have you ever found yourself needing to press the Escape key to get out of insert mode? It can be a bit of a hassle, right? You have to move your hand away from the home row, and that can really mess with your flow. But don't worry! Uncap is here to help you solve that little problem.

Easy Key Remapping

This cool utility lets you quickly remap your Caps Lock key to act as an Escape key. That means no more awkward hand movements! Plus, it gives you the flexibility to create other mappings too. You can turn them on and off whenever you want—super easy!

Simple Setup

Getting started with Uncap is a breeze. The app consists of just one executable file. Just launch it, and voilà! Your Caps Lock is now an Escape key. The program runs quietly in the background, so if you need to shut it down, just pop into Task Manager or use the “uncap -k” command in your console.

Create Shortcuts for Quick Access

If you're someone who likes quick access, consider making two shortcuts on your desktop. One shortcut will start the program while another will shut it down using the “-k” argument. This way, activating and deactivating your key mapping happens in a snap!

More Than Just vi Editor Users

While Uncap shines for folks who use vi Editor, it's not just limited to that! You can set up multiple key mappings with simple commands too. To configure everything, just fire it up in your command console and type “uncap -h” for instructions.

Lightweight and User-Friendly

When you've got everything set up just how you like it, starting Uncap from a shortcut or batch file is super smooth—all with the arguments you'll need.

In short, Uncap is lightweight and straightforward enough for anyone to use. It's especially useful if you're looking to bind Caps Lock to Escape while working in vi Editor.
