Update: My main goal is to change the function (or even turn off) the CAPSLOCK key.



At work, we have a long domain name. I'm lazy. I'd like to map my CAPSLOCK key to type out a string such as "outlongdomain.com". This is only to save me from typing.



I've seen numerous questions about how to remap the key to a different function. While neat; I couldn't see how to tell the system to "print out these next set of letters where the cursor has focus."



Update:
I would like to use Autokey but I don't see an option for CAPSLOCK

If you can be satisfied with it just being disabled, here's what you can do.




  1. Run sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool.

  2. Open Tweak Tool by searching for it in the Dash.

  3. Select the Typing menu and change Caps lock key behavior to Disabled.
