Caps to Ctrl adds a keyboard layout (English, US, qwerty) which changed "Caps Lock" to "Ctrl" for the physical keyboard.

Instead of the menu key, you can use "Ctrl + ESC"
The other keyboard layouts are added as "Japanese (EN)" or "ThumbCtrl (EN)" but these are for Japanese keyboard

This software uses 'User installable keymap' (Android 4.1 and up). Therefore, it can not be used on an Android device whose manufacturer disabled "Settings" › "Languages & input" › "Physical keyboard" of Android settings.

Anti-Features:

NoSourceSince: Upstream source for this app is no longer available. Either the app went commercial, the repo was dropped, or it has moved to a location currently unknown to us. This usual means there won't be further updates unless the source reappears.

Download Metadata Source Issues

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
