1) CAPSLOCK key under console and X, should be mapped to ControlThis mapping is compatible with most server administrators preferences, prevents capslock-related mode problems in vim. If this default leads to angry bug reports, at least they will not be sent in all caps ;-)
Please, no. I'm a server administrator, and I like to know that the keys do what they are suppossed to do. In Caps Lock case, to lock capitals on. I do not know who are those "most server administrators", but when I need a Control key, I use a Control key. AND it is against the "least surprise" priciple.
2) Terminate X via Ctrl-Alt-Backspace Seems like an easy, useful, historic way to kill a malfunctioning X.
Absolutely yes.
3) Disable Print key All my uses have been unintentional. Does anyone use it deliberately?
Again, please no. The key should do whatever it is intended to do, whatever it is. If and when somebody uses it, it must work. In X, it can be mapped to some screenshot program. (And again, "least surprise")
My other wishlist items are: 4) No display manager by default I think the community shouldn't coocoon naive users from the console. The passing familiarity with the terminal that comes with Learning to type username, password, startx and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (to terminate X) will help the user if and when they ever have trouble with X. That X works so well most of the time, and without manual configuration is a credit to xorg maintainers. Terminating X, and returning to the console would be useful, for example, when fiddling with proprietary video drivers.
Devuan is about choice. Let our users decide if they want X server started by default or not.
