Hi,
I have the Function keys on the left side of my keyboard because I have
difficulty reaching above the numbers row. Unfortunately, my Escape key is way
up there, so I swap it with F9 which is the at the bottom left of my keyboard
using xmodmap:
: xmodmap -pk | grep 'F9\|Esc'
9 0xff1b (Escape) 0x0000 (NoSymbol) 0xff1b (Escape)
75 0xffc6 (F9) 0xffc6 (F9) 0xffc6 (F9) 0xffc6 (F9) 0xffc6 (F9)
0xffc6 (F9) 0x1008fe09 (XF86Switch_VT_9)
: xmodmap -e "keycode 75 = Escape"
: xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = F9"
: xmodmap -pk | grep 'F9\|Esc'
9 0xffc6 (F9) 0x0000 (NoSymbol) 0xffc6 (F9)
75 0xff1b (Escape) 0x0000 (NoSymbol) 0xff1b (Escape)

This work in every native application I use except the Chrome browner where I
still have to press the Escape key.
Does anybody know why this doesn't remap and how I can remap it for Chrome?
Thanks

This does not answer your question, but is rather some more information:
AFAIK, VS Code (build on top of the chrome engine(?)) had a similar problem a
while ago and they fixed it. If I remember correctly, the behavior comes from
the engine (?) that Chrome uses.
I.e. I think the problem is not local to Chrome, but to their engine ( by
"engine" I mean that thing all Electron apps share)

Chris
